Yulunga: Traditional Indigenous Games — a free Australian Sports Commission (ASC) educational resource — will be featured on the Behind the News (BTN) program on ABC1, on Wednesday 2 December at 10:30am.

The BTN program will highlight how the Yulunga resource is a valuable addition to the Indigenous education curriculum being taught in schools — making it fun for kids to play and learn at the same time.

Australian Institute of Sport long jumper and Indigenous athlete Robbie Crowther will appear on BTN promoting Yulunga as a great way to learn about Indigenous cultures.

‘It’s great — the kids learn about Indigenous culture while having fun and getting active,’ Crowther said.

A CD-ROM of the full Yulunga resource, which includes over 400 games, has been sent to more than 11 000 schools (primary and secondary) throughout Australia. Schools are encouraged integrate the games into Sorry Day celebrations and invite local elders to participate.

The Yulunga: Traditional Indigenous Games resource encourages physical activity, reconciliation and cultural awareness — all from playing games!
