26 Popular Children Games from Around The World

26 Popular Children Games from Around The World “26 popular children games from around the world” is an ew game, a playful way to promote cultural understanding and tolerance among children.

I am the dad of three young children (8, 8 & 6) who are biracial and who live in a German-American household in a cultural environment (the US) that is increasingly divisive and intolerant. And that bothers me. Through my upbringing I’ve learned the value and benefits that come from living in and learning from other cultures, and I feel that it is my responsibility as a parent to instill those sam

e values in my children. And as a parent, I know that the best way for a child to learn is through play. So I have decided to create this card game "26 Popular Children Games from Around The World", where each card describes and provides instructions for a popular game in one of 26 countries around the world. Each card would also include a picture of the country’s flag, the shape of the country, and a greeting in that country’s language, as well as a couple of fun facts to serve as a conversation-starter between parents and their children about that country and its culture. I also wanted the games to be low-tech (no tablet or app), require a minimum of accessories (kids in Africa or rural Laos don’t have access to much, yet have the most fun), be appealing for various age groups, and be gender-neutral (I have two boys and a girl). The game will be available on Amazon very soon. Unfortunately it can only be bought in the US, Mexico and Canada for now. Part of the proceeds will be donated.

The perfect Holiday gift for employees/Employers. Last year, a prominent Mountain View, CA company (not FB) purchased over 350 sets of the game for its employees. Several of these employees were married to teachers who loved the cards and reached out to me. They all received free copies of the game for their students.
