Class experience
Make, Play and Learn About Board Games From History: The Ancient Game of Bul. Is an art class for children of all abilities aged 8 - 12 yrs old. In this relaxed, fun and creative class learners will design and make their own board game of Bul which they can then keep and play with family and friends. Using just everyday craft supplies and a little creativity, I will show them how they can make and learn to play this simple yet fun game. We'll talk a briefly about what historians theorise are...
The main learning goal is for students to learn how to make and learn to play the game of Bul. Learners will have the opportunity to practice their design skills inspired by the style of art works created by various peoples who inhabited the Mesoamerican regions throughout history. We will briefly touch on what we mean by the term Mesoamerica. We will chat about what various historians have discovered about the game of Bul and their theories about its use. Learners will have the opportunity to practice their listening and communication skills as they follow my instructions and solve problems if they arise while we make the game. We'll practice a little measuring and do a little counting when scoring the dice rolls. There will be opportunities for writing if learners would like to write their own rules and descriptions of play.
I have been interested in ancient board games and games from around the worlds for about ten years and I have read and reserached them when ever I have the opportunity. I have made various games with groups of children of all different ages and abilities. I find making the games, offers opportunities for all kinds of different types of learning and it's fun.

Adults should be advised this as an arts and crafts class with a little historical twist and not a history class. Adults should check that the materials suggested in the resources sheet are suitable for their young learners and whether they may need some support or supervision with things such as cutting and measuring.
