Library Story Walk and Indigenous Games

Accès

À propos

This event will be an opportunity for families to learn more about Indigenous culture through play and stories. We will read stories by Indigenous authors to learn more about the importance of the tipi, and we will play some games that would have traditionally be played by Indigenous people. “Historically, many of these games were introduced by Elders to help children learn and develop the skills necessary for their personal and social survival. It is well known that traditional games focus on building skills like, agility and strength, that would be useful in hunting and gathering food. With simple skills, straightforward rules, and familial connection, the buy-in for students is quick and the payoff is exponential.” (https://qspace.library.queensu.ca/).
