WELCOME TO
Play in the Past
At Play in the Past, our mission is to bring play based, hands on and student centred learning into History lessons across Perth. The incursions we run and our Hands on History Collection offers a unique opportunity for students to touch, play with and explore vintage real world items.
Imagine creating a home corner with a typewriter and telephone. Contemplate the wonder and intrigue of little people seeing a cassette tape or vinyl record for the first time. Consider the vocabulary and discussion that could happen when making predications about what an item may have been used for. It would be wonder-full!
