Teacher leads a discussion on Native American games.
Games, in the old days, often helped sharpen skills needed in adult life. Games were also just for fun. Games would reflect the environment the children lived in, as well as their culture. It rained a lot there, and one can imagine the children having to stay indoors and responding to nature outside. They made up a game, creating the sound of a rain storm using the wooden floor.
