Our journey will start at the main gate of the National Botanical Garden. We will learn how to introduce ourselves as ancient Athenians and then we shall enter the Garden and follow its paths, among rare flora. Then, we will settle under shaded trees and discuss interesting facts about education and childhood in ancient Greece, comparing Athens with Sparta, the two major cities of the Classical world. We will discover the patron gods of play, the toys and their materials and of course the children games of antiquity; all through real objects, photographs and interactive dialogue! And then it’s time for action! Following the ancient resources, your family will play five ancient greek games using exclusive replicas of ancient objects. You will have fun and a great deal of laughs while trying to prevail and win! At the end of the activity you will receive a wonderful souvenir, and the Garden's map!
