Picture yourself planning for a Year 8 class in the final period of the day. It’s the second last week of term and everyone has finished their exams and have mentally started their holidays already. The class includes several (loud, influential) students who are not continuing Latin next year. They’ve probably been watching videos all day and I don’t want to contribute more to that. What do you do with them?
Pieces from the Gloucester Tabula board. Source: [Link]
Tabula was enjoyed for hundreds of years during the Roman period. It similar to Backgammon and relatively easy to explain.
For your convenience I have found here a version of Tabula which is playable, fun, and well explained. I’ve also made a printable board for it.
