Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For example, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which improves the hand-eye coordination needed in fishing. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competitions. People who watch the event know that a gold medal is a win for the whole country, not just the athlete who got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or wars, an Olympic win can mean so much. Sports games are also an event that unites people. Football is the most popular sport in the world. People all over the world play it -- some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian football player, has discovered a way to spread hope through football.
