International Games:
Hamesh Avanim (Israel)

When we study other cultures we need to remember to also delve into how the different age groups of that culture live and what activities they participate in. I enjoy learning about the games that the children play. Here is a good one from Israel.

Five gold-colored square stones. Use 5 pebbles if these are not available.
