Holiday camps An alternative to caravans or camping was going to spend a week at a holiday camp, like Butlin’s or Pontins. You could stay in a chalet. This had a little more space. Meals were provided in huge dining rooms, where hundreds of people were fed at the same time. You had to make sure you went to the right sitting or you missed your meal!

One of the latest trends is ‘glamping’ – camping in a little bit more luxury, with beds, bed linen, heating and cooking facilities provided. Things have certainly changed since the 1960s!

Entertainment There were all kinds of entertainments, both day and night, including indoor amusements in case it rained.

Top entertainers would perform in the ballroom some evenings, and there were all kinds of competitions, from ‘Glamorous Granny’ to snooker and darts.

There was something to do every minute of the day, from breakfast at 8 a.m. until midnight!

Glamping: This is a short way to say ‘glamorous camping’ – everything is more luxurious when you are glamping, as you have a proper bed, heating and private bathroom.

Let’s think about it!

Talk to your parents about the kinds of holidays they had when they were children. What kinds of things did they do when they were on holiday? What is the same, and what is different, between then and now?

and Drayton Manor Theme Park, became popular places to go for a day out in the UK. New-style holiday resorts, like Center Parcs, appeared. Here you could cycle, walk or swim and have a ‘healthy’ holiday in attractive surroundings.

Resorts and places to stay have had to keep updating themselves to continue to attract people who want to have fun on holiday.

Some people think glamping only started recently. See if you can find out about glamping in the past.

Growing up in Ancient Egypt

Pets were very popular. Many Egyptian families would have cats or dogs, birds or even monkeys as household pets, but these animals would be expected to earn their keep too.

Cats would kill rats and mice in the granary; dogs would help with hunting; and monkeys were trained to climb tall trees and pick fruit and pass it down to people waiting below.

Jobs and careers

Children were expected to obey their parents without question, and were expected to help around the house from an early age. One Egyptian word for ‘child’ translates as ‘servant’, and another describes boys as ‘walking sticks for their fathers’. Boys were expected to learn their father’s trade and follow in his footsteps.

‘Today is the happiest day of my life – we have finally adopted a child.’

They would have all their hair shaved off, apart from one long plait, or side-lock, that hung down one side of their head.

Ancient Egyptians loved children, and often had large families. Many babies died from infection and disease – A toy cat with pull-along string some historians suggest more than one in three babies died. To help counteract this, mothers would breastfeed their children until they were three years old, and then wean them onto vegetables and a gruel or porridge made from stewed wheat or barley sweetened with honey or dates.

1. Why might adopting a child make this woman so happy? What does that tell us about attitudes towards children in Ancient Egypt?

Everyone would learn to swim, but also to be careful of the crocodiles and hippopotamuses in the River Nile. Boys would learn to fight with sticks, spears and bows and arrows so they could hunt and fish or fight in the army of the pharaoh when they were older. Girls would learn to grind corn, cook, spin and weave and generally look after the household. But there were plenty of games too – many we still recognise today. Leapfrog and tug-of-war were popular, as were spinning tops, ball games, dolls and pull-along toys. Board games were very popular, the two best known were called Snake and Senet.
