Another idea for a great hands on half term day out for the kids.The Horrible Histories First World War exhibition is on at the Imperial War Museum North.
Marking the 90 Year anniversary of the end of The First World War, the show is based on a book from the Horrible Histories collection by Terry Deary. The books are very well known to young people, they offer an alternative way to learn about history, using the gory bits, the gross bits and making them fun to learn!
This exhibition is ideal for younger visitors. You can discover, see, smell, explore, hear and learn!! There is all sorts to do and see such as follow beetle racing, you can smell a battlefield latrine and learn why the words “never again” must never be forgotten. You will also discover how the enemies would call a treaty and enjoy a game of footie, hear ropey rhymes and war songs and see what clothing was worn and what it felt like.
The show runs from 24/05/08 right up until 18/01/09 and is FREE to all!!
