We are reading Rain Player – a Mayan story including the rain God, Chac, Pik, Quetzal, Jaguar and Ah- Kin – Mai. How does the story end? See if you can tell from these freeze frames.
The Mayan ball game of Pok-O-Tok is a challenging and sometimes brutal game. Rules are harsh, playing conditions are harsher and the consequences if your team loses are unimaginable! Here we are having a go. It’s certainly a skilful and challenging game. Ask your children about some of the rules and stories that they have …
