Drop-in BC Family Day Museum visit and activities on Friday, February 17 & Monday, February 20, 11am-4pm.
The special BC Family Day attractions and activities includes the following:
Extended Feature Exhibit: Let’s Play! An Interactive and Cultural Look at Board Games through History. This exhibit is truly interactive with the ability not only to see and learn about some of the board games played across history and around the world, but also to play the games for oneself. [Feb. 20th marks the last day of the exhibit]
Nine Men’s Morris Challenge: Nine Men’s Morris is a board game of antiquity that is simple to learn and quick to play. Each winner will get their name entered into a draw for a prize. [note, despite the name of the board game, the challenge is not gender exclusive!]
Dice Probability Activity: The Role of dice is a key feature of many board games, and so to help understand the different types of dice across time and around the world, and to learn some of the dynamics of probability, this activity compares the probability of 6-sided dice with Mesoamerican 2-sided bean dice. [Participants can mark and take home their own bean dice.]
Family Scavenger Hunt: As a family group together or as individuals, complete a prepared scavenger hunt. Completed scavenger hunts get entered in a draw to win a prize.
