This is an exciting hour of immersion into the realm of play in the Native American tradition. The opening performance draws from such Native stories as "Turtle Races with Bear" (Seneca), "The Great Lacrosse Game" (Menominee) and "Gluscabe and Dzidziz" (Abenaki). We'll chant to the stories, sing along to the music and move together in a round dance. Then everyone will have fun playing a variety of Native North American games, including hoops, rings, rabbit sticks, foot races and cat's cradle. This participatory program for children and families explores the importance of games when growing up and how games help to keep us fit and sharpen our minds throughout our lives.

Best suited for families and children ages 5 to 11.
