Grandmother’s Circle – Grade Three

Joining Grandmother’s Circle, students will experience the unique education of early Aboriginal children.

The formal part came from their Grandfather’s / Grandmother’s circle where stories were told which illustrated special life lessons. Equally important yet less formal were the games that were taught and played under the watchful eyes of their elders.

By playing these games, Aboriginal children learned and practiced skills, which would be useful to them as they grew older.  These particular activities helped to sharpen the skills needed for hunting and protecting the village.  In this hands-on activity, student will uncover the life lessons behind a selection of Aboriginal stories, and they will experience some of the games that were played by Aboriginal children.
