Summer House of the Museum of History of Catalonia
June 30th to July 11th
Children aged between 6 and 12 who like history and want to learn and have fun at the same time have the ideal option for this summer: ‘Let’s explore time’, the Museu d’Història de Catalunya’s summer camp.
In ‘Let’s explore time’ every day we will explore a different thematic area that will include several periods with a transversal route through the rooms and spaces of the Museum. During these days we will become explorers investigating the past, an enriching and fun activity. Each day we will have a challenge to achieve. We will enter a world where we will get to know the different historical periods and everything that surrounded them, hand in hand with different characters. Each day the adventure will consist of a thematic route, combining dramatizations, games and dynamics that will be intertwined with artistic and playful activities and… a few more surprises!
Did you know that we still play the same games as children did 2,000 years ago? Have you ever wondered when the first remedies and medicines appeared? These and other questions will be answered thanks to our research work. We will visit homes, discover the world of everyday life and solve everyday mysteries.
Each day we will explore a different thematic area that will cover several periods with a cross-cutting tour through the rooms and spaces of the museum. Thematic areas: Technology, Women, Games, Beauty and Hygiene, Food, Remedies and Medicines, Dwellings and Domestic Spaces, Sources and Archaeology, Work and Everyday Life, Children, Festivals and Traditions, Tales and Stories.
Dynamics
Two age groups: 6-9 years old and 10-12 years old. Each group will become a tribe of explorers.
The day will begin with a short brainstorming session and an explanation of the topic to be explored. This will be followed by a tour of the museum’s rooms full of dramatisations, games and dynamics. The concepts that will be worked on each day will be adapted to the different historical periods and to the children’s concerns.
They will have a meeting and recreation corner where they can enjoy some reading time or educational games inspired by the daily themes.
After lunch, there will be games and playful and artistic workshops linked to a particular historical period or to the thematic area in question.
On the last day of the festival, family members or accompanying persons will be able to attend and experience first-hand what their children have experienced and created during the two-week adventure through history.
