How ancient games serve as a classroom for cultural heritage
In short: This video explores the significance of traditional children's games from Ghana, moving beyond simple play to reveal how they preserve history and community values.
Games have functioned as communal tools for thousands of years, serving as vehicles for teaching history, beliefs, and social skills. By studying Ghanaian children's games, learners can access the specific customs and traditions of various African ethnic groups.
The presentation highlights research conducted at Anlo-Afiadenyigba Roman Catholic Primary School in Ghana. It advocates for integrating these games into music curricula to develop students' musical and dance skills while simultaneously fostering a deeper understanding of cultural identity.
