Back to Younge Owlettes Projects
Notes for teachers or adults

We suggest this project is done by children between the age of 4 and 7. It can be done either from home or in school.

Pens and paper or a computer or tablet with a word processing package. You may need a scanner or camera so you can upload it to your school's website.

I want you to tell me about a game that you play. It can be one you play with your friends, family or one you play on your own. It can be a board game, a card game, an outdoor game or a game you have made up yourself. The only rule is that it cannot be a computer game or one that is played on any electronic device.

I would like you to give me the following information:-

• Name of the game, if it has one:
• Type of game (card, board, made-up, other):
• How to play it:
• Why you like it:

In total your writing shouldn't be more than 400 words.

These instruction in PDF format and only intended for teachers can be found here

If you are doing this project on your own at home, you can email a copy of the finished project to us and it may find its way on to our site. Send it to homeprojectsy@owlbut.co.uk That would be owlingly brilliant. Off you go.

We are asking schools to set up a special part of their school website called Owlbut's World of Learning and all work done by pupils should be uploaded there. Each project, if you decide to do more than one, should have a separate section. Send the link to littleowletteprojects@owlbut.co.uk.

We will start uploading projects sent to us and links from schools in September 2025. The projects and links will be accessed from this page.

Richard has written an example about a game he used to play when he was younger, a lot, lot, lot younger. Try to make your example look roughly like his, which is here.
