Ep 49 A Play Date with the Past: An interview with Nicola Hoad from Play in the Past

Hands-on learning makes learning and understanding concrete for children. This is never more true than when it comes to learning about history.In this episode I talk to the founder of Play in the Past, Nicola Hoad, who brings hands-on incursions to children in schools where they can experience history in their hands.Play in the Past brings historical artefacts into schools for children to experience change and continuity over time with real historical artefacts.Listen how Nicola explores history with young children and the incredible benefits to children when they are afforded the opportunity to interact and physically explore historical artefacts hands-on.For all the links mentioned please go to the episode website.To sign up to Get Curious, the weekly newsletter with actionable strategies for keeping children and adults curious, go HERE☕️ If you like my work and want to encourage me to keep going you can do so by buying me a coffee! Any contribution will be gratefully received and will certainly give me the kick I need to keep going.☕️
