This activity gives children the chance to make a hanging TV mobile for their bedroom and to bring to life the evolution of television sets over the years.
See how creative your children can be, by asking them to add their own colourful touches to this black and white 'Switchover for kids' poster template. They could even consider using materials such as glitter, foil or coloured paper to bring their own unique artwork to life.
Why not involve your children in the switchover by creating a time capsule to bury in your garden. This is a fun and inspiring activity to commemorate this special event in the history of broadcasting. The capsule can be filled with objects that relate to television as we know it now and / or the switchover for future generations to find.
Children get the chance to become the stars of their own show by making a Digit Al finger puppet. Why not encourage them to use it as part of a TV inspired puppet show to tell friends and family about television in the past, present and future?
