Activity 3: The Terracotta Army
The Terracotta Army is one of the most impressive archaeological collections in the world, discovered in the tomb of the first emperor.
Each soldier is made of clay and looks different!
In this activity (written using Gemini 2.5 Flash AI), through watching the soldiers and the story of their discovery, the children will understand the importance of preservation in a museum, the scale of national collections, and the difference between handmade work and mass production.
The Activity
- Watching and Discussion: Watch pictures and short videos of the Terracotta Army (you can search on Google or YouTube).
Focus on the fact that each soldier looks different, even though they were created in the same workshop.
Try to imagine: who was the emperor who needed such an army?
\(\space\) - The Identification and Preservation Mission: Display a picture of a broken part of a soldier (such as a hand or a head) or draw them.
The children will try to identify “which part is missing” and attach it back into its place, similar to the work of restorers in a museum.
\(\space\) - Creating a Personal Army: Use plasticine, light clay, or dough to create a small figure of a soldier or a person, emphasizing the uniqueness of each figure, just like in the Terracotta Army.
