Traditional games were important for the survival of a tribe through the skills and lessons the games taught the young, including an appreciation for the natural world, connections between oneself and spirit, and connections between members of the community. Physical games helped to teach survival skills of endurance and strength, and intuition games taught how to make observations using the five senses.
