GAMES

Something new: A game invented by a friend of ours. Check out the website for Chebache. It's a strategy board game, sort of a cross between backgammon and checkers and more. The box says ten years and older, but Sarah loves it. She's 6 1/2.

Games Kids Play has rules for many childrens games that you likely remember.
