Games
Welcome to OHTV Games designed to enable children to learn, play and discover our heritage.
Learning games is a fun way to introduce children from 5 to young people up to 15 to Black and Asian Heritage. But as a Big Kid - you can play too. Why not explore the games that are based on our “Which Year?” theme - covering Black & Asian UK History from 1900-2017.
For most of the games below, you can find the answers to the questions in our Timeline section.
However for "Breaking News", "Connect Fours" and "Random Name Picker" the answers can be found throughout this website
We would welcome your feedback by sending us an email to info@ourheritage.tv

Connect Fours
You will see a wall of 16 x clues related to Black & Asian people in the UK, you need to group them into 4 x rows of 4 x connected items. The aim is to match 4 Black & Asian connections in the same group.
You score 1 point for each group found within 2.5 minutes. You have unlimited guesses for the first two groups. After completing 2 groups, you have 3 x chances to create the final 2 x groups.
After arranging all 4 groups (or when time runs out) the correct groups are shown. You can earn 1 point per group for identifying the connection between them. If you spot all 4 groups and all 4 connections, you gain a 2 x point bonus (a total of 10 point).
Did you get the Group connections correct without cheating to get the bonus points?
Random Name Picker
Click on spinning wheel to make it spin until a random name is chosen
When the name is chosen, look at the Heroes section to find out more about that person
You can then remove that person from the wheel until you have researched all of the Heroes on the Wheel
Alternatively – have fun guessing which name the wheel will stop at when it spins – but please no gambling amongst friends (it’s just for fun!)
