🌳🍂 Victorian Games at Forest School! 🍂🌳
P7 took their Victorian learning outdoors for Forest School today! 💛💙
After learning about how Victorian children entertained themselves, the pupils were challenged to design and create their very own outdoor game using only materials that would have been available to children during Victorian times. 🌿🪵
Working in groups, they drew inspiration from games they already knew, including bowling, mini-golf and maths games, before putting their own creative twist on them! 🎳⛳
Each group had to decide:
⭐ the rules of their game
⭐ what natural materials they would need
⭐ how the game would be played
⭐ and, most importantly, how to win! 🏆
Once their games were built and tested, each group gave the rest of the class a short demonstration, explaining their rules and showing everyone how to play.
There was lots of creativity, problem-solving, teamwork and communication on display – and some very inventive games! A brilliant afternoon of Victorian learning in the great outdoors. 🌳🍂💛💙
