Written instructions: Environmental games
Summary of task
As part of a History unit, ‘Children 100 years ago’, students learnt that there was limited money and toys for children in Australia.
Students were asked to create or adapt a game, using only natural resources. Students used a template to help develop and explain their game. This included information about rules, play areas, how to stay safe and how to access or make equipment using natural materials.
In the following lesson, students trialled and tested their games with their peers. Game modifications and instructions were edited verbally and recorded by older students.
This assessment task relates to the focus area: active play and minor games.
