Educational Resources

The Goulbourn Museum’s educational kits and resources are created with the guidance of experienced educators.  Each activity fosters an interest in history and an appreciation for local heritage.  These resources compliment our local history presentation.

Due to popular demand, many of our resources can now be downloaded (free of charge) from our website.  Others are available for loan or purchase at the Goulbourn Museum.

The Great Game of Goulbourn

This board game allows players to trace the footsteps of Goulbourn’s soldier-settlers, touring the former township’s historic landmarks in hopes of being the first to reach the Goulbourn Museum.  Each laminated board includes four playing pieces, dice, junior and senior level trivia cards, and a cloth carrying bag.

A class set of eight board games is included as part of our Education Kit.  Education Kits are available for one-week loan at the Goulbourn Museum, at a cost of $10.00.

Board games are also available for purchase in the Goulbourn Museum’s giftshop, at a cost of $10.00 each.  Additional game sets (added to the same carrying bag) are $8.00 each.

Goulbourn Heritage Bingo

This game requires players to answer trivia questions related to Goulbourn’s past in order to fill their bingo cards.  Each bingo set includes 32 game cards, a set of trivia cards, dried corn (for use as game counters), and a cloth carrying bag.

A class set of 32 bingo cards is included as part of our Education Kit.  Education Kits are available for one-week loan at the Goulbourn Museum, at a cost of $10.00.
