International Games Day

In honor of International Games Day and International Education Week
Today’s session (11/15/14) of the GABFEST Club was dedicated to the International Games day @ your library. We have read and translated an article of the American Library Association which explained why games are important element of culture and why they should be present in the library (even the video games which are disapproved by many).
The next step was reading of a Wikipedia article about children’s games. This activity was enjoyed by all as we read the games’ classification table. The group tried to find the games that were popular both in the English-speaking countries and in Ukraine.

To wrap up the session we have presented the group the range of boards games available at the Window on America center and gave them the possibility to play the favorite America’s family games at DOUNB Library. Playing the games intended for the native speakers was a challenge, but all the club members enjoyed the gaming session.
Participants number – 25 persons.
