Get active with this collection of 35 fun games inspired by traditional and contemporary Indigenous games.
Each
game has been designed in consultation with Indigenous communities
around Australia, and includes background information to help children
understand the Indigenous context of each activity. There is a focus on
developing throwing, catching and strengthening activities in the Early
Years, and by combining cards you will have complete lesson plans, from
warm-up to skill building to game practice!
How to use the cards:
• Choose from five categories of games–warm-ups, tracking, strengthening, running, and catching/throwing.
• Decide on the aim of the game–is it for children to learn a new skill, or for strengthening and developing current skills?
•
Review the easy-reference symbols for cautions (eg. collision risks
that may help organisational decisions), number of participants, and
indoor or outdoor space required.
• Discuss with children the cultural context of the game.
• Gather any equipment you may need.
• Play!
