Multicultural Games

State the name of your game and why you chose it.

We chose Kudoda because it would not be too hard to play..

This game, Kudoda, came from Africa.  A similar version in Simbabwe is played with stones or pebbles. 

Describe how your game is played. State the object of the game. Clearly describe the rules.

• Fill the bowl with about 20 marbles. 
• In a circle one player takes a marble and throws it (not too high).
• As it is in the air the player sees how may marbles he or she can pick up.  The player with the most marbles at the end of the game wins.

List the equipment needed.

• metal bowl
• marbles

Make recommendations for what type of athlete would enjoy playing this game. What skills does it demand?

Christina:  This game is best played by a person with fast moving hands so that they can pick up the marbles.  The person would need good hand/eye coordination.
