3-1 Research & Inquiry

Watch this video about a museum where every toy on display can be played with. While you are watching, take note of the different toys and games and how they have changed over time.

Look at the three Driving Questions below and in your groups, decide which question you would like to answer. Each group can answer the same question or each group can answer different questions. The choice is yours!

1. How can we create an advertisement that highlights the importance of toys and games throughout history?
2. How can we design and create a toy that is cheap to produce, fun, and easy to share with children in places where toys are hard to come by?
3. How can we design playdough recipes that help younger children learn and play safely?

What will your group do or make to answer your Driving Question? Follow the prompts below to draw or write out some ideas with your group. Remember to download or save your work for future use!

Think about your group’s question and think about some words, phrases, and sentences that are linked to the question. The aim of this exercise is to get you thinking and working together to create ideas. Everything is possible here!
