Daily Life in Olden Times for Kids Woodland Ojibwa/Chippewa Indians Ojibwa Games Butterfly Hide and Seek Game   Butterfly Hide and Seek: Butterfly Hide and Seek was a quiet game. Children were taught never to hurt a butterfly. To the Ojibwa people, it was considered a gift of good luck if you stayed so quiet that a butterfly would trust you and land on you.  Little girls played the butterfly game. One girl covered her eyes and sang a song. "Butterfly, butterfly, show me where to go." All the other little girls would quickly and quietly hide. The singer had to find them without saying another word. It was a game of skill. If you were observant, you could tell where people were hiding by the marks they left as they moved around.   Moccasin Game Lacrosse Sep, a Funny Bedtime Story Game Native American Games   Return to the Ojibwa Index Free Presentations in PowerPoint format  Free Clip Art Return to the NE Indians Index   Obijwa Indians Native American for Kids    All Rights Reserved    Clip Art Credit: Phillip Martin Have a great year!
