Our Native American Club at Catalayah took advantage of the nice weather yesterday and went outside to play Game of Graces. Graces is played with two people. Each person gets two dowel rods. Then, one of the players takes a wooden hoop and, pulling apart the two rods, sends the hoop into the air for the other player to try to catch. The winner is the player who is first to catch the hoop ten times. The Game of Graces was a popular activity for young girls during the early 1800s. During the first quarter of the 19th century, the game was invented in France and called le jeu des graces.[1] The Game of Graces was considered a proper game – one befitting young ladies and, supposedly, one that would make them more graceful. Graces was hardly ever played by boys and never played by two boys simultaneously; the players were always either two girls or a boy and a girl. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
