Each group chooses an Arabic word to fit into each blank in the story. They could try to read it out loud first. Then the leader gives the translation of each word and each group could then read aloud the story they actually wrote, filling in the English words they chose. This is a simplified children's version of a traditional game which has been played in Egypt for more than 5000 years. It is played in pairs.
Players draw the board and place their markers as shown.
They take turns moving one of their markers either one or two squares in any direction. A marker may not pass over another. The winner is the first player to get three markers in any straight line across, down or diagonally, as long as it is not in the players original line. The queen lightly tickles the player on her left who then tickles the next player, and so on around the circle. When the action is all around the circle, the king starts a new action.
