Mancala

Last night, when Doug was having trouble falling asleep after a late in the afternoon nap, I taught him to play Mancala. He MOSTLY has the idea of how to play using the very simplest version of the rules that I know, and of course at this point no idea of strategy and just barely a concept of trying to win. The funny part is that he calls it "my cala" but he likes the game and it is really my first success with either boy at introducing the concept of playing a board game and of one of them having the actual attention span to play one to the end.
