YOTE
Yote is a popular game in West African countries, particularly Senegal.
 

To play this game as many African children and adults do, have your students make their own boards in the soft ground or use a tray filled with sand. Playing pieces can be as simple as nature provides: sticks and stones. This game may remind your students of checkers. Please download the instruction by clicking HERE.
