mancala

The Zigzag group made an old African game called Mancala .

We used cardboard and egg cartons to make our game because we are trying to reuse and recycle
our rubbish.
First we cut up the egg carton
second we painted the egg carton
third we made the boxes to put our beans in
We played the game like this you have to choose a partner to play with you get 4 beans and put them in the hole if you land in a empty hole your turn is over.
