Aboriginal Art and Play: Years 1–3

First Floor

pandanas_prop

Children from all cultures around the world can have fun and learn by playing games.

We have three programs from which Early Years teachers can choose. In these programs students learn about the valuable skills gained by Aboriginal children and adults when playing with traditional toys and games. They also develop an appreciation and understanding of the different styles and forms of Aboriginal art from different regions and the relationship between Dreaming stories, ceremonies and the environment.

The A5 booklet or A4 activity sheets encourage students to write down their discoveries. The Inquiry cards work with an adult group leader who guides students verbally.
