As we enter a new decade and embrace the 2020’s, wouldn’t your students love to know what the 1920’s were like?
“Life 100 Years Ago” focuses on technology, culture, and change that roared through the 1920’s. A short video covers general history and fun facts about the 1920’s, while the worksheets and activities include exercises and games to help kids of the 2020’s learn about kids who lived 100 years ago. Featuring job profile cards, historic grocery lists, and games like Pick-up Sticks and Jacks, students will explore how things have changed and how they’ve stayed the same.
