Our explorer teachers will lead a two-hours of fun Spanish workshop in which children will do interactive exploratory tasks in the museum and some other activities in the museum classroom. The main aim of this workshop is for children aged 4-8 years old to learn Spanish in an interesting and enriched environment such as The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology Cambridge. It is the perfect excuse to learn Spanish, it is the perfect excuse to visit the Museum!
