Lesson Activities

Body: Have students work in small groups, each group will be provided with texts or articles, tactile diagrams or models and audio recordings. Allow students to explore the materials, and help them in understanding the texts and diagrams. Have them discuss what they have learned, and share their findings with the class. Introduce the ‘Hunt and Gather’ game, explain the rules and the objective of the game. Activity: Divide the class into two teams, hunters and farmers. Hunters have to gather as many resources as possible using only the tools and weap-ons that were available to prehistoric hunters, such as spears, axes and later on also bow and arrows. Farmers have to gather as many resources as possible using only the tools that were available to prehistoric farmers, such as hoes and plows. Each team will have a set time to gather resources and bring them back to the starting point. The team with the most resources at the end wins. Have students reflect on what they have learned, how the tools and ways of life of hunters and farmers affected the development of human civilisation.
