Project Overview

Global Games teaches about the fun side of world cultures as attendees are introduced to a variety of toys and games from different countries. Volunteers are chosen and almost immediately show how easy they are to play and experience success, and at the end everyone has a chance to show off what they?ve learned through featured mini performances of their own! Global Games helps kids develop skills and build self esteem while gaining new respect for world cultures.
