No prior knowledge is required, just an open mind and willingness to learn!

Activities

• Cave Art Creation: Use your pen and paper to create your own cave art inspired by the Stone Age drawings found in caves.
• Research Project: Use the internet (if available) to research more about the Stone Age. Create a mini report on the daily life of early humans during that time.
• Role Play: Imagine you are an early human living in the Stone Age. Act out a typical day in your life, from hunting for food to creating tools.

Talking Points

• Early Humans: "During the Stone Age, early humans lived in small groups called tribes. They were hunter-gatherers, meaning they hunted animals and gathered plants for food."
• Tools and Weapons: "Early humans used tools made of stone, wood, and bone. These tools helped them hunt, build shelters, and create art."
• Cave Paintings: "One of the most fascinating aspects of the Stone Age is the cave paintings found in various parts of the world. These paintings give us a glimpse into the lives of early humans."
• Fire: "Early humans learned to control fire during the Stone Age. Fire provided warmth, protection, and a way to cook food, which was a significant development in human history."
• End of the Stone Age: "The Stone Age ended around 3,000 BCE when humans started using metal tools. This marked the beginning of the Bronze Age."
