Colonial Games

 For the past week, student groups have been learning a particular Colonial game that was played during during the time period of the original 13 colonies.  After learning the game and making all supplies by hand (tearing apart a straw broom, cutting rope and tying it together to make rings, etc.), each group then taught the class the game.  Time was spent playing the game in small groups before rotating to learning about another Colonial game.  In all, by the end of this week, students will have been introduced to 7 different Colonial era games. It has been neat to see them take these games out to recess. The most popular ones this week seen played at recess are marbles and Fox and Geese (a tag game).
