Mancala
Description
For thousands of years, Mancala′s simple rules and challenging strategy have made it the world′s most popular game. This solid wood set features three sets of rules, glass beads, and a storage box. The object is to collect the most beads in your large mancala bowls by sequentially dropping stones around the board which makes it a great educational toy.
Why we love it
Mancala is great for a 4 year old because it is a great social game your child will love. It will teach your child counting and social skills, like how to take turns.
Product Features
- At first your preschooler can separate the stones by color and practice counting how many stones there are in each group.
- Mancala is a great way to teach your little one pre-math skills. The players must add stones to the bowls around the board. As your child drops the stones in the bowls, ask him/her to count how many stones are in the bowl. Add to it the stone he/she is dropping in and give the total. For example, “This bowl has two stones and I put one in. Now there are three stones.”
- Help your child count how many stones there are left in his/her bowls. Whoever wins will have the most stones in his/her big bowl.
- Taking turns is an important skill for your little one to learn, especially as he/she moves toward school age. Playing board games, like Mancala, helps your child develop this skill.
- You can explain to your child that he/she will not win every game. But each time he/she plays the game, there will be a new outcome. Sometimes he/she will win, sometimes his/her friend will win, and that’s OK.
