Everything you need to play this game

Darts (or a ball) to throw
Optionally: pen, pencil or chalk

Make it yourself

Step 1

Make the darts board

Take a carton board and cut out two ribbons out of the board. Then attach six (or more) post-its to the board so you can throw darts or balls to the post-its. Write different countries on the post-its.

Step 2

Make the answer sheet

Take a second carton board, and attach three rotation discs on them. One disc will contain different flags, a second one different words how to greet someone in different languages, and the third one contains typical foods for all the countries. Optionally, you can also add a table below the discs which will contains all the answers.

Good job!
