The Hungry Miner

For miners, dinnertime underground was a welcome break from the hard graft of digging coal. Each carried a bait box filled with simple food like jam sandwiches or bread and dripping.

In this fun family activity, imagine what would go inside your miner’s bait box!

Collage over the drawing of a miner (with a little charcoal for the face). Then create the food your miner will be eating for dinner.

This event is part of our Ways to Play programme of free and low-cost family-friendly activities. Ways to Play is sponsored by Tyne and Wear Metro.
