Today’s Excerpt:

Is there something you once liked to play with but don’t any longer?

Ask an adult you know what they liked to play when they were young. The videos below show ways kids in the past have enjoyed playing.

Watch “One Potato, Two Potato” to see British kids in 1957 playing together.

Discuss:

• Do you play any games during recess?
• Which games do you enjoy? Which do you not like as much?

Watch “100 Years of Toys” (2-min video) to see toys through the decades.

Discuss:

• Did any of these toys surprise you?
• Do you have toys that you still play with a year later?
