Last week year 6 learnt the rules of the Ancient Mayan ball game 'pok-ta-pok'. We had a go at using the rules to play our own games- we decided to leave out the decapitation for the losing team. The children became very inventive with ways to pass the ball without using their hands, feet or head. 

We then created our own similar games with specific rules about which body parts to use. What a fun way to hook into our new topic about Ancient Maya.
