At-Home Anthro LIVE

First developed in the Middle East as far back as 8,000 years ago, mancala became a popular game that was made, played, and shared around the world. In addition to an easy to learn but hard to master game, mancala also played important cultural and spiritual roles for different West African communities. In honor of Black History Month, students will learn about the history of mancala in Africa, design their own mancala boards, and learn how to play.

Recommended materials: Egg carton, scissors, and 48 counters for game pieces.
