The Marketplace

Imagine Montréal in the early days, when the public market brought the whole town together. It was a bustling atmosphere, as all the shops and stores laid out their wares in open-air stalls. Each team of children will play the role of a group involved in trade back in those days: farmers, merchants, craftspeople and soldiers. The teams will be given four challenges — games that will help them learn something about the saga of New France. To round out the activity, the teams will trade their goods in.
