(haipo) – The Council for the Preservation of Heritage Sites invites the public to rediscover the tools and objects of the past. In an era where every child can identify a mobile phone or tablet charger in a second, there are objects that were once an integral part of every home and today almost no one knows their names. The chisel, the chisel and a host of other tools that have disappeared from the Israeli landscape are now returning to center stage, as part of a new interactive quiz by the Council for the Preservation of Heritage Sites in Israel, allowing the public to discover what those objects were and what they were used for.
An interactive quiz that brings history back to life
The "Objects of the Past" quiz, offered on the council's website in the "Children Create Conservation" section, invites participants to identify tools and devices that were common in Israel decades ago. Among the questions: who used a thimble, who kept a thimble on a regular basis, and who had a blue lamp at home. Participants are also asked to guess the function of various objects based on appearance alone, sometimes quite strangely, and to discover how they functioned in the era before electricity.
Experiential activity for the whole family
The quiz is just one of dozens of activities offered by the Council for the Preservation of Sites for Children and Families, with the aim of bringing the younger generation closer to local heritage and everyday life of the past. The site also features works, tasks, videos and other content that allow for learning about Israeli history in an experiential and fun way.
