From the River Forest Library - Old-fashioned Games!
River Forest Public Library is inviting people to stop by the Children's Room and try out a host of old-fashioned (low tech) games during the month of October.
We have a new DIY program for October - a variety of old-fashioned (low tech!) games. From simple wooden toys to puzzles and games, there is something for all ages. Try your hand at tangrams or solitaire, play with one of the shape puzzles, or test your aim with marbles. Play Shut the Box or Nine Mens Morris, and take a look at some of our books for outside game ideas. Fill out a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize!
Try Shut the Box - roll the dice, "shut" the number rolled, OR any combination of numbers adding up to that number, and see if you can shut the doors on all the boxes. Challenge yourself, your friends, and your family.
We have scoresheets so you can keep track.
Stop by River Forest Public Library to try out an old-fashioned game and check out the RFPL Kids Blog to keep up with what's going on in Children's Services.
