Global Games
Global Games is a fun and informative way to teach kids about world cultures through a variety of skill based toys from different countries. We first demonstrate and teach the history behind each of the toys. Then they get to try them out as we facilitate with hands-on teaching and leading group games. Finally, everyone gets a chance to show off what they've learned through mini-performances of their own. Global Games helps kids develop their own skills and build self-esteem while learning the fun side of world cultures.

Participants learned the name of the country where each toy originally came from, and in some cases a little about how the toy was developed. Some participants experienced hands-on teaching as they demonstrated toys in front of the entire group. Participants enjoyed a time of playing with the various toys while the presenter gave them suggestions and advice to perform at a better level. Participants used the time of open play to further develop the skills necessary to perform with the toys.
