Gambling as a cultural identity in Australia

TLF ID A003772

In this lesson, students critically evaluate gambling’s link with Australia’s cultural identity through the lens of the traditional ANZAC day game of Two-up. Students will then propose alternatives to that aspect of the Australian cultural identity, encouraging their local community towards healthier choices around gambling and performances of the Australian cultural identity which are less involved with gambling. The lesson is outlined in detail including NSW curriculum links, learning intentions, discussion points, materials required, links to supporting videos, student handouts, student and teacher reflection points. This lesson is part of the GambleAware program from the Office of Responsible Gambling, Department of Enterprise, Investment and Trade, NSW Government.
