• Ask the children if they know the nursery rhyme ‘The Muffin Man’. • Recite or sing the rhyme with the children:
Do you know the muffin man, The muffin man, the muffin man? Oh, do you know the muffin man Who lives in Drury Lane?
Oh yes, I know the muffin man, The muffin man, the muffin man. Oh yes, I know the muffin man Who lives in Drury Lane.
• You may find or ask the children to search for a picture of the muffin man online or in books. • Tell them that Drury Lane is in London.
• Ask them what they think a muffin man did. [In the past, there were street traders who sold goods to passers-by. The muffin man sold plain flat buns that could be toasted and spread with savoury or sweet toppings. You can buy them in some supermarkets and small shops.]
• Help them to research other similar jobs from that time.
