or look at examples of Stone Age anachronism from popular culture, such as The Flintstones cartoon and films which feature an array of inventions which primarily use only stone and animal power. Write a list of as many as you can think of that would have been challenging in the stone age.

TASK 2:

What other things might Ug try and invent? What other items being made from stone would be unsuccessful due to the nature of stone? Will he try and make them from stone or will he attempt to convince other people to let him use different materials that we know were available during the Stone Age?

Can you create a mind map of all the different ideas you come up with – you can add humorous pics too if it helps!

Green chillies, watch my step by step guide to get you started on how to think of ideas for each activity and something Ug might invent. I will show you how to set it out too.
