Traditional Games

It doesn’t take an internet connection or specialized equipment to have fun. In this action-packed program, students have the opportunity to challenge their strength, agility, and endurance through a variety of traditional games from the Arctic circumpolar communities of Canada, Alaska, Kalaallit Nunaat, and Northern Scandinavia. Traditionally, these games helped children hone the skills and fitness needed for survival. From the Inuit blanket toss to the one-foot high kick, come try out these amazing games for yourself!
