DISPLAYS
Small-scale displays relating to children's traditional games are suitable for various locations, including libraries, community centres, offices and schools. Displays are developed collaboratively and according to any special requirements.

Protected displays can include historical and contemporary playthings, photos and information panels to illustrate various aspects of children's play and folklore. Unprotected displays will usually be restricted to pictures and text.

There could also be an interactive component if volunteers or staff are available to work alongside the display.

PRESENTATIONS
Presentations about children's play and folklore can be supported by electronic media, such as Powerpoint slide shows, video or audio. Talks may also be enlivened by having a collection of interesting and relevant playthings, games and memorabilia for audience members to look at, handle and play with.
