How To Play Solitaire...

By -
Peg Solitaire is a game board that has 33 holes arranged in a pattern that will be shown below.
At the start of the game every hole, but the centre must be filled in with a peg.

Then the player will start jumping pegs. Any pegs that are jumped over will be removed, just as in draughts.

Vertical and horizontal jumps are allowed, but diagonal jumps are not.
The goal of the game is to reach a position where only one peg remains, and that peg will be the one in the centre








How To Play...

1 Player...

Set Up: Place all the pegs on the board and remove the centre one.

You now have to jump one peg over the another, one at the time, making sure to remove peg that you have jumped over from the board each time.

As you know you can only jump over a peg vertically and horizontally, and they have to be in the space right next to the jumping peg.

Once you can not jump over anymore pegs you have completed the game, count your remaining pegs and that will be your target to beat next time you play.

The aim of the game is to leave one peg in the centre of the board.

You can also vary the problem by choosing any other hole, you don't have end in the centre hole, you can have any, just leave it empty at the start and finish with that one peg in that hole.


Good Luck!

History of the spinning top - How does the spinning top work?

I received a lovely letter this morning from the year 1 pupils at Highters Heath Community School in Birmingham, that are currently studying toys from the past. When I opened the letter, it contained many letters mainly asking how a spinning top works, and does the spinning top contain a spring? In an attempt to settle these curious minds, let me tell you a little bit about the history of the spinning top, and then how a spinning top works. The History of the Spinning Top The spinning top has been in existence for thousands of years. Like many traditional toys, such as marbles, the earliest spinning tops are made from clay, and were discovered in the Middle East as early as 3500 BC, although it is likely that children would have been spinning small rocks or acorns long before. Later wooden spinning tops emerged in around 2000 BC, and early spinning tops made from bone have been found in Europe.  These spinning tops would have been much simpler than many tops found in old fashi...

If you ask me what my favourite dice game is, there has only ever been one answer, ZILTCH! This is an exciting fast passed game of chance suitable for all ages and great for kids who can beat their parents fair and square. It's good for developing basic arithmetic skills too! This has been a family favourite in my house hold since I was a nipper, I have since taught it to hundreds of people and everyone loves it! All you need is six dice and a pen and paper to write down the scores.        These days this can be downloaded as an app or played on line but to me the whole fun is seeing peoples reactions as they roll the dice. If you take away the actual dice and play by clicking a button, then you have taken away the fun of the game! Dice are inexpensive and fit in your pocket and I guarantee that once you have learned to play this game you will always carry six dice with you! It can be played almost anywhere and doesn't blow away at a picnic or get wet ...

How to Play Farmyard Donkey Card Game

A couple of weeks ago I posted the instructions for the card game Pairs on Wheels . Another popular traditional family card game is Farmyard Donkey. Again, this game is fairly straight forward but a great way to keep children occupied and get them thinking. The card game consists of 17 pairs and the "Donkey Card". Firstly, shuffle the cards then deal them in a clockwise direction to each player. All players then look at their cards and take out all their pairs, the player to the left of the dealer arranges their remaining cards in their hand like a fan. The back of the cards are shown to the player on the left who then picks a card. If this card makes a pair then the cards are put in the middle of the table with the other pairs. If the player isn't able to make a pair then they keep the card and continue the game by offering their cards to the next player. When a player eventually loses all their cards they are 'saved' and stop playing. At the end of the gam...
