Use small toy figures, rocks, vehicles, sotto, and other materials for construction. Students can make a background and costumes reflecting the time period. Puppet shows are another good source especially for shy students. 4. Make dioramas or murals. These are best when done in small groups.
Nothing beats the hands on approach.
Learn songs and dances of the different time periods. Patriotic songs will only be learned if taught as part of the curriculum. Display time lines, murals, dioramas, and floats at Open House, school assemblies, or in the classroom. A tape of patriotic songs can be played as people view the floats and awards for the best floats may be given.
