Join Vision Forward, ABLE and the Wisconsin Talking Book and Braille Library for this year’s Braille Games 2025.

Our theme for this year is Native American Games.

For many Native Americans, games were a form of entertainment, but they were also played for fun or as part of ceremonies.

Games often teach skills and values to prepare for adult life, such as patience, sportsmanship, hand-eye coordination, endurance, and problem-solving. Games also strengthened tribal relationships by creating a place for people to be together for trade or sport.

All tribes played games of skill and chance, racing and relay games, throwing and catching games, games that imitated hunting and war, games that were played alone and those that were played with a group.

We will be having a day full of fun with braille as we design games to be braille friendly.

No charge to attend. Pizza lunch will be provided. Registrations must be received by April 28th.
