Games

I think what I like best about this book is that it not only teaches about games from all over the world, but children are required to make the games before they can play them.

That means they have fun making a marble race game out of a shoebox, or jacks out of painted self-hardening clay, and then they have more fun actually playing the games.

Among the games included is one of our all-time favorites, Mancala, a game of strategy that is thousands of years old.

This book is softcover, has 32 pages, was printed in 1996 and is in excellent condition. Sorry....this one's sold.
