Observation/discussion
Hand Game The class will be split into two teams. Each team
will be given six plain sticks. The first team to be completely
quiet will go first. Their first person will receive two sticks, one
the same colour as they already have and one a different
colour. The first person on the other team will have to guess
which hand holds the odd-coloured stick. If they guess right,
the two sticks pass to the second person on their team. If
wrong, they pass to the second person on the first team. The
six plain sticks are exchanged according to right/wrong
answers. The team to get all their opponents sticks first wins.
Observation are students on task? Is everyone participating?
Are students being quiet enough to allow the game to
continue?
Discussion Do they understand what theyre doing, and why it
was important to the Blackfoot people? (The Blackfoot used the
game to teach children about observational skills, which were
important for hunting, as well as for entertainment).
