Past toys - shopping for toys

<p>Look at the photograph of a toy shop from 1927. As a class or in groups ask the students to write a list of all the toys they can see in the photograph. Then ask students to choose their favorite toy - but keep it a secret. Discuss how they might describe their chosen toy by thinking about shapes, sizes and whit it might be made of. Then have a questioning game, where the others in the group ask yes/no questions such as: Does it have wheels etc. This could be consolidated by asking each student to draw their chosen toy and label it with the words they used to describe it.</p>
