A Day at the Old School

A Day at the Old School

Come take a journey through time, we will travel to the old school. In the classroom the strict (but fair) teacher will be waiting us, as we sit in the old wooden desks and relive our school years.

Take out from your satchel, the slate and the pencils and the lesson starts!

And if you're good we are going to play the old games: marbles, spinning tops, hoops and skipping ropes.

But if you are naughty, punishment awaits!

Itinerary

This activity is ideal for families. It is designed by the scientific team of the School Life and Education Museum and it is structured with strictly pedagogical criteria in order to offer through playful activities an alternative museum experience.

The participants will engage in a dramatic reenactment of a Greek school lesson from past decades. They will be vividly involved in this activity by using old school costumes, traditional toys, and school supplies and other memorabilia of the old Greek School.

After the “lesson” they will be guided at the School Life and Education Museum.
