The winner of the Mancala Tournament took home their very own Mancala board
We were disappointed that we didn’t have a guest speaker this week, but we still found ways to have fun. The students have been learning about Ancient Egypt and Africa in their social studies classes, so we learned a little bit about games played in the African continent. After looking at information on the internet, we had a Mancala “tournament.” Eleven students were competing for the title of Mancala Champion. Each winner faced off another victor until the only players left were James and Taelor. Taelor was the champion and took home her very own Mancala game to enjoy all the time.
Mancala is considered by some to be the oldest game on the planet. Mancala games have been found in Egypt and all over Africa
