An activity on co-education
27/05/22Since we were born we are sorrounded with several toys of different shapes and colours.
But which toys are for boys or for girls?
We started the activity talking about two colours: blue and pink.
The teacher asked them which colour they prefer. Boys mostly said blue and girls answered pink.
So after talking about these two colours we put pink and blue in the middle.
Then Pinocchios were given 6 different toys: a rocket, a ball, a train, a robot, a bike, a teddy bear and a yo-yo.So they were asked to classify them according their opinion on wheter it was a toy for girls or a toy for boys.
At the beggining all the toys were ment to be for boys!
So I asked them:
Have you got a bike, or a yo-yo, or a teddy bear, or a ball?
They all said YES.
Then the second round was more balanced. These were the results:
Girls’toys: the bike, the yo-yo, the teddy bear and the ball.
Boys’toys: the train, the rocket and the robot.
It’s been an interesting activity and it has given us a lot to think about it!
