Native American Children’s Games

As part of their Saturday Afternoons at the Museum series, Native American Children's Games will be presented on Saturday, January 22 from 1:30pm to 3:30pm at the Museum of Natural History.

Many traditional Native American children's games were games of skill and chance. Join the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Connecticut Archaeology Center and learn how to play Native American games such as the deer toe bone game, ball and triangle, and bowl and dice (using reproductions) and test your own abilities.

Explore the Museum's Natural History of Play series by taking a closer look at traditional Native American children's games! Drop in any time between 1:30 and 3:30 pm this Saturday afternoon at the Museum and explore your world through experimentation and observation. Recommended for students in grades 1 through 5, accompanied by an adult. This program is free.
