Seeing daycare, we probably do like Inuit Culture, mostly in May that’s when Hamlet starts for Baker Lake. I try to show or tell them about Inuit Games like one foot high kick, two foot high kick, knee jump, finger pull. Teaching the children at daycare makes me proud because we want to see if they like it. I try to show them about Inuit Culture because we don’t want it to die in our community. Showing our culture to young children makes me happy because they are loving the ideas we do with them, even little strings games.

It is important for preschoolers to learn about our Inuit culture, i would thoroughly recommend teaching some Inuit culture games that i have learnt in school and pass it down to younger children. Inuit culture games like the string game, ajagaq game, ball game..

It is the first week of May and it is Hamlet Days week where the community gets together and plays game as a community, One foot high kick, two foot high kick, musk ox pull, airplane game, knuckle game. There are many different Inuit games to teach children.

Supporting Inuit culture through play means being intentional, respectful, and connected to community.

I work positively to deliver Inuit culture play experiences by creating opportunities for children to explore and connect with Inuit traditions in a meaningful, hands—on ways.

Spring 2025, the Baker Lake Daycare invited a special guest to introduce Inuit games to the children. The special guest, Dave Duval, did an example for different games, then let the children participate with us educators assisting the children. They all had fun learning how to play Inuit games.

In a Daycare, having Inuit cultural is important because they’ll be connected to our culture, by playing Inuit games, reading Inuktitut books, and having an elder. This week in may is “Hamlet days” and if the children go see the halls, they can see what games are played and how it done. In the daycare we can play those games.

demonstrating Inuit games to children and how fun it is to try new things, allowing them to discover movements, strengths and learning they can do through playing and participating. Working positively can help me create relationships and build trust between me and the children, and have them do these Inuit activities to feel confident and safe in their sense of belonging to Inuit culture.

How I work positively to deliver Inuit culture play is, playing juggling with the seal skin that we have in our daycare, I also want to make more so the children could enjoy juggling with their friends, some children at our daycare enjoy playing that game, they also learn and play, and once they start to play they get excited to at least catch one ball, it is the joy we need to see, and once they practice they’ll get the hang of it..

Delivering Inuit culture play in daycare.

Supporting Inuit culture through play we can do one day or one week of Inuit culture and make plans for the one day or the rest of the week. As educators we can teach the children what we already know. For me, I can teach the children how to sew a heart, sewing is part of unit culture through making Inuit clothing.

Discuss how you work positively to deliver Inuit cultural play experiences to children.

We could read books to them in our language. Play with toys that are relevant to our culture. Bring them out on a land trip that may include fishing or berry picking. We could also bring in elders or people that know how to demonstrate Inuit games.

You can read books about Inuit Culture, show them Inuit games and how it is played, games like

String game

1 or 2 foot high kick

Inuktitut baseball game

Tuktu or natsiq skipping rope

A lot more games and or tell stories of the land, some get teach on how to skin the caribou or if they watch often they’ll get curious and ask questions about it. They’re a lot of ways to deliver it positively. We just gotta use our minds on how to do it when it’s time to think of it.
