Toy theatre - Pickford's House Museum
Pupils should be organised into groups of approx. five. Pickford's House has four floors; groups use the activity cards to work their way through each room, answering the questions and performing the tasks as required.

Teachers may wish to allow groups to tackle the activities and different rooms independently or lead students through the tasks.

It is suggested that schools provide at least one staff member / helper for each floor of the museum. Support materials for teachers and assistants are available to download from 'Changing Rooms' - Support Files
