Ever get fed up with your family spending all of their time on electronics?

Often we wonder how families in the past would have entertained themselves sans TV's, computers or cell phones.

The Okotoks Museum has started an interactive exhibit to get families sitting down together and interacting again.

Up In The Attic started yesterday, and museum staff have brought out old time games for families to experience together.

Museum spokesperson Jaime Brett Sine says the games aren't old them selves but resemble games that have endured throughout history.

"Up in the attic we have a number of more interactive things visitors can do." Sine says "We have a wishing tree, where someone can add a wish to the tree - specifically a Christmas wish, we also have some old board games."

Families have been through the museum and have spent hours playing games. Spine says some of the games are modelled after what people would have made for themselves.

"The games themselves aren't hundreds of years old, but it's modelled after games that people would have been able to make themselves."

Up In The Attic interactive exhibit is on until the museum closes for the holidays. The last day is 17 of DEC.
