Making Squares

Make a square or rectangle of dots, as shown on page 26.Provide the children with pencils. Each one makes a line joining two dots but tries to prevent the others from making a square.For a while it is easy, but soon the number of dots is scarce, and it requires careful marking to prevent the squares from being formed. Finally all the chances are gone and the next player completes a square, as a reward he is given another chance, thus completing several, then he joins two dots and the next player continues.Each one places his initial in his completed square, so the score is easily counted. The one who has succeeded in making the most squares is the winner.
