Project Overview

Global Games is a fun and informative way to teach kids about different cultures through a variety of skill based toys from different countries. There is a demonstration given and history told about each of the toys and children will be allowed to try them with hands on opportunities. Finally, everyone gets a chance to show off what they have learned by giving a mini performance of their own. Global Games will help kids develop their own skills and build self esteem while learning the fun side of world cultures.
