Playground Patolli

June 22, 2015

Playground PatolliYear 5 took on the challenge of following a set of instructions for how to play the ancient Aztec game of Patolli.

The girls took to the playground to draw their own boards with chalk. Instead of using a dice, they used an authentic Aztec method of rolling dried beans with dots drawn on them to see how far around the board they could travel. The object of the game is to get all your gems or stones around the board before your opponent.
