25.01.2022 We had a great start to the school holidays having the opportunity to run some traditional games activities at Camp Australia Vacation Care programs at Toowoomba East and Middle Ridge! With the weather starting to heat up the kids at East had heaps of fun playing running games on the school oval whilst the Middle Ridge kids played a super competitive game of Tambil Tambil on the school basketball court. We are looking forward to being able to visit more Vacation Care programs... this week now that COVID restrictions are slowly starting to ease across the state. #dreamtimegames #sharingourculturethroughgames #traditionalIndigenousgames #schoolholidays #toowoomba #vacation #oshc #vacationcare

21.01.2022 Kee'an is another one of our favourite games to play when we visit schools and OSHC services! Kee’an is a game used to improve throwing skills for hunting in northern Queensland. The word Kee’an means ‘to play’ in the Wik-mungkan language of North Queensland. The equipment used mimics a bone that would have been used for hunting. Check out this awesome video from QLD Sport and Recreation outlining how to play a modern variation of this throwing game.... https://www.youtube.com/watch #dreamtimegames #sharingourculturethroughgames #traditionalIndigenousgames

Students from neighbouring small schools Kioma SS and Lundavra SS also travelled into Talwood and Bungunya to join in the sessions. We had heaps of fun delivering a wide variety of different games with the students.... We’ve had the pleasure of visiting the Goondiwindi region a couple of times across the last 12months for different school and community programs and always enjoy visiting this lovely border region. #dreamtimegames #sharingourculturethroughgames #traditionalIndigenousgames #talwood #bungunya #kioma #lundavra #goondiwindi #goondiwindiregion

21.01.2022 The end of school term 2 and the June/July QLD school holiday period is usually a very busy time of year for our staff with schools and OSHC services across South East QLD celebrating NAIDOC Week. With COVID-19 restrictions still in place we haven’t been as busy as we usually would be so we are taking this time to reflect on some of the fantastic school and community NAIDOC and traditional games events that our games facilitator Dusty has been involved in across the years. St...arting with this awesome action shot of students ready to launch their tennis ball spears in a game of Gorri at Chinchilla as part of a South West Indigenous Network regional Indigenous sports tour program. #dreamtimegames #sharingourculturethroughgames #traditionalIndigenousgames #swin #pcyc #pcycqld #pcycindigenousprograms #chinchilla

06.01.2022 With NAIDOC Week starting this Sunday (8th November) we've teamed up with our friends at Youthconnect TRC as part of the #HomeProjectTR to showcase another traditional Indigenous game, Pirrha, that you can play at home with friends and family with items from around your household. In the game of Pirrha women from Lake Eyre made small gypsum balls to spin. The game was played by several players at once. The player whose ball spun the longest was the winner. Sometimes two women... competed against each other. In another form of the game two balls were spun in a large bowl (Pirrha) and there was excitement when the balls collided. #homeprojectTR #traditionalindigenousgames #dreamtimegames #sharingourculturethroughgames #naidoc #naidocweek #naidoc2020 #onlineworkshop #toowoombaregion #youthconnecttrc

05.01.2022 From The Archives: Usually this time of year our staff would be run off their feet with school and OSHC bookings during a traditionally very busy NAIDOC period. With COVID restrictions forcing the postponement or cancellation of many of our bookings we are taking time to reflect on many of the other sport and recreation events and traditional games programs our staff have been involved in across the past decade. Today, we are throwing it back a couple of years to the 2014 Cun...namulla Deadly Sports Expo event. This event saw hundreds of students from schools across the Paroo Shire converge upon John Kerr Park to participate in a whole variety of different sports events (such as traditional games, rugby league, tennis, baseball, hockey etc) and have a chance to interact and learn from NRL players, Olympians and and other high profile Australian sporting stars. This was a fun event was hosted by the QLD Government in conjunction with South West Indigenous Network, the PCYC and many other local community organisations. Our Dreamtime Games staff were fortunate enough to visit the Paroo region many times in their previous sport and recreation roles running many traditional games and sporting programs for townships across the region. And for those eagle eyed viewers you might be able to spot our very own traditional games facilitator Dusty, who looks very excited, in the group photo from the event! #cunnamulla #sports #throwbackthursday #fromthearchives

02.01.2022 From the Archives: We are taking time during this unusually slow period due to COVID 19 restrictions to take a look through our archives at some of the Indigenous and community sport and recreation programs our staff have been involved in across the past decade. Today we are looking at some of the Indigenous golf programs our games facilitator Dusty has been involved in across South West QLD. Dusty has been lucky to deliver many community engagement activities surrounding the... QLD PGA tournaments held at the City Golf Club including a pop up driving range on the Toowoomba Village Green and a 9 hole ‘My Golf’ course throughout Queens Park in the Toowoomba CBD. Our staff also delivered many My Golf inspired activities at Toowoomba NAIDOC Family Fun Days and assisted with the delivery of golf programs at various QLD Government Deadly Sports Expos and South West Indigenous Network ‘TRAX’ Sports Education Programs across South Western QLD. #dreamtimegames #fromthearchives #sport #golf #toowoomba #cunnamulla #deadlysports #swin

02.01.2022 Buroinjin is one of our favourite games to play when we visit high schools! This is a ball game played by the Kabi Kabi people of South Queensland. The game was played with a ball made of kangaroo skin, which was called a Buroinjin. Check out this awesome video from QLD Sport and Recreation outlining how to play this fast paced ball game.... https://youtu.be/ddd9V4CFHSI #dreamtimegames #sharingourculturethroughgames #traditionalIndigenousgames

01.01.2022 From the Archives: We are taking another look back into the past during this slow phase before the very busy NAIDOC Week and December/January school holiday period kicks off. Our games facilitator Dusty through his previous sport and recreation career has had the opportunity to get involved in various local youth programs such as Toowoomba Midnight Basketball program as a Participant Coordinator, coach and referee and running sporting activities at other programs such as the ...Whaddup Indigenous Youth Program. The Midnight Basketball program was a favourite of many high school aged youth across the Toowoomba area with nearly 100 high school aged youth each Friday night descending on the courts at Harristown SHS to play in a round robin competition and learn some important life skills along the way and was one of Dusty's favourite programs to be involved with. #dreamtimegames #sharingourculturethroughgames #fromthearchives #youthprograms #whaddup #basketball #midnightbasketball

01.01.2022 We've had a bit of an extended break from being able to run any traditional games programs in schools or OSHC services due to the impact of COVID-19 but we are excited to finally be able to back and sharing our programs! We are booked in to run a full day of activities at Redland Bay State School tomorrow and cannot wait to play some fun games with the students for our first ever visit to their school #werebackinbusiness #traditionalIndigenousgames #sharingourculturethroughgames #dreamtimegames

01.01.2022 Our games facilitator Dusty, in his other work role with the Ambulance service, recently got to visit the lovely Wyreema State School again for the second time this year to help teach the Prep and Year One students about the importance of ringing 000 in an emergency. Dusty had only just visited Wyreema SS a couple of weeks ago to run some traditional games for the schools NAIDOC celebrations for Dreamtime Games. Whilst at the school for NAIDOC the younger grades were also le...arning about calling 000 in an emergency so once the teaching staff learnt Dusty was also an Emergency Medical Dispatcher they invited him back to talk to these students. The kids had a great time doing Dusty’s special ‘000 quiz’ and ‘Is It An Emergency?’ games and learning about the importance of knowing their address and telephone number. #communityengagement #ambulance #000 #qldambulance #qldambulanceservice #emergencymedicaldispatcher #wyreema
