Children Play Games to Demonstrate Their Knowledge of Anacostian History

In the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum's learning center, Zora Martin-Felton explains the games which the children will play to increase their knowledge and understanding of the history of Anacostia. The games include: a floor map where the children can walk through Anacostia; letter board to unscramble words and create words that have to do with the history of Anacostia; "reaching in" - might pull out question or an object which the children have to answer or explain; students pretend to be a well known Anacostians and others have to guess based on clues; create own story about Anacostia through the creation of a slideshow; and create play using objects related to Anacostia history contained in a trunk. Children interact with the various games. Marshall Jackson assists with education program.
