ORONO — Games Day at the University of Maine’s Hudson Museum is a February school vacation tradition. This year’s event, the 15th annual Games Day, is scheduled for 10 a.m.-noon on Thursday, Feb. 23.
Children will have an opportunity to play games of skill and chance from around the world, while visiting the galleries of the Hudson Museum. Games stations, located throughout the museum, will include feather races, a Northeastern Native American bowl game and seal races.
The event is open to families and groups, including scout groups, and may be used to fulfill badge and Heritage belt loop and pin requirements.
“It’s good for parents who are looking for structured educational activities during the February vacation,” says Hudson Museum Director Gretchen Faulkner. “Parents and children can learn about cultures in the museum’s galleries, while learning about traditional games played around the world.”
The event is open to children ages six and up and there is a $3 per child registration fee. Please call 581-1904 to register or for more information.
