Description

Reveals the incredible variety & richness of people’s heritages. Takes you on a play-filled adventure to the four corners of the Earth to explore the world’s most popular games. Leap Frog, Hopscotch, Marbles, & Hide-&-Seek are games that are played everywhere, while games like Lacrosse & Snakes & Ladders have their origins in particular cultures. You’ll learn about Go, one of the oldest games in the world, which originated in China more than 4,000 years ago. Other games are part of religious festivals or only played at certain times of the year: this includes games such as Ash-Zhalaalo, or Hit the Shadow, which is traditionally only played during the Muslim festival of Ramadan. “Gives you a whole bunch of games you can play right now!” Color illustrations.
