Using Large Board Game Boards...Understanding Korea's First in Yongsan, Society and Daily Life

Yongsan-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Park Hee-young) is operating the “Haha Dongdong, Yongsan Exploration” experience program for the summer vacation. This program is held a total of four times at the Yongsan History Museum for 40 families with elementary school students, from August 9 to 18 (Wednesdays and Fridays), for 2 hours each session (10 AM to 12 PM). Participation is free of charge.

Pre-registration will be accepted online from July 24 to August 2 at two websites (Yongsan History Museum, Seoul Public Service Reservation).

The activity theme is “The Firsts in Our History.” It features 25 “firsts” in Yongsan’s history, such as ▲the first bridge spanning the Han River ▲the first water level observation station by the Han River ▲the country’s first foreigner apartment, all presented through a large board game.

The newly introduced large (440cm x 345cm) board game board attracts attention. The board arranges Yongsan-related first events and places in chronological order. Participants can enjoy experiencing Yongsan’s historical culture by solving quizzes. Adults roll the dice while children become the game pieces and complete missions.

Park Hee-young, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, “The Yongsan History Museum is striving to develop new educational tools for creative content activities,” and added, “We will continue to consider ways to provide diverse experiences of Yongsan’s historical culture.”
