Understanding cultural differences: Aboriginal culture and their games

This is an integrated unit of work designed to develop an understanding and appreciation of cultural difference. The focus will be the culture of Aboriginal people. Initially, the students explore differences in family structure and the nature of relationships. They will regularly reflect on their own family structure and relationships to identify similarities and differences, and appreciate what each culture may offer.

The practical component of the unit focuses on further developing an understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal culture through participating in traditional Aboriginal games. The main purpose of the games is to encourage fair play and respect for others while also giving the students opportunities to discuss the cultural significance of the games and their role in developing a sense of self. They will also identify game skills that can be transferred or used in other games played in society.
