Traditional Cornish Children's Games & Dances

Circle Games, Action Rhymes, and Traditional Dances that were played by children in our Grandparents' days - long before TV, computers or i-pods! These popular games were the ones that children used to play outside in the fresh air, on the streets, in fields, or school playgrounds. Lots of fun, exercise, and laughter......maybe your family will remember some of these favourites:

Barley Bread

Bobby Bingo

Contrary

The Serpent Dance

Accroshay

We can tailor the workshops to suit KS1, 2, or 3, and to meet a variety of abilities. Children will learn about many aspects of Cornish heritage and culture including mining, feast days and festivals - and they will also have lots of fun!
