Palace explorers – Playing by the rules

Join our creative, hands-on sessions for 2 to 4-year-olds and their adults.

With an exciting new topic to explore each week, children and their adults will discover the art of play. Sessions will invite children and adults to think about how they play, their favourite toys and the fun activities of the past.

This week: Playing by the rules

What games do you think people who lived at the Palace played? Do you think everyone plays by the rules, or are rules made to be broken? Let’s explore different types of games, their rules and maybe even make up a new game to play!
