Historic Replica Games

Bluestem Environmental Education brings you authentic handmade replica games, bringing living history to life in handcrafted games. No two games are alike and are handcrafted based on historical research teaching about Native Indigenous First Nation lifeways and early games of settlement. These games are suitable for use in living history events as a compliment to an Indigenous or First Nation unit of study. Because of their historic nature and simple utilitarian beauty, these games could be used as decoration for your home office or school. All games are to be used with direct adult supervision and due caution. Featured games are lacrosse, double ball, spear hunting game, and feather darts.

One set of four games can engage 10 children at a time. Many schools purchase two sets to engage 20 children at a time. These materials may qualify for purchase with Alaska Title V funds.

Remember, if shipping to anywhere but the lower 48 US states, please contact us first for a shipping quote. Also, due to the large popularity of these games and the fact that they are handcrafted, shipping could be 4–8 weeks, particularly if it is a large order.

Initial Sound Boards

Initial Sound Boards are corresponding object letter boards that allow the child an opportunity to experience the letter in a multisensory way and to form a meaningful association of object, sound, and symbol. Using executive function skills, a child matches the three-dimensional object to the picture and says the object’s name and the sound it starts with.

The child then traces the sandpaper letter, saying the initial sound again, and finally matches the moveable alphabet letter on top of the sandpaper letter. Perfect for toddlers and young child’s hands. All 26 letters of the alphabet are available. Objects may vary due to availability. Buy the entire set or several. A handcrafted handled tray is SOLD OUT and not available at this time. We will update you when more trays are available.
