Discover, learn and play: “Battle of the Buffalo”

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with your class aboard the historic ram-turret ship *De Buffel* in Hellevoetsluis! Through the “Battle of the Buffel” lesson guide, students discover the fascinating world of the navy—past, present, and future—in a playful and interactive way.

Together with three characters—Kruitloper, Ketelbinkie, and Buffeltje—students dive into an exciting story filled with challenges:

• Can they work together like real crew members?
• How do they solve problems using the technology of yesteryear?
• And how do they contribute to a sustainable future for our seas and ships?

The lesson guide combines historical knowledge with hands-on activities, such as building a ship model, deciphering codes, and collaborating on maritime missions.
