Checkers by Yousef and George

Materials
You need to get a Checker board and Checker pieces. You should get a box or a bag to put the Checker pieces and the Checker board in so they won't get lost.


Setting Up The Game

First you should decide what color you want to be. Second, you have to give your partner twelve pieces of the same color and you get twelve pieces of the same color. Your pieces should be a different color from your partner's pieces.



There might be extra pieces left over. Then you put the pieces on the board on one color. The two middle rows on the board should be empty. Start putting pieces on the board on the row closest to you. Your partner should do the same thing.

Now you are ready to play.


How To Play.
First you have to decide who goes first. Then the one that goes first moves one Checker piece diagonally. If there is another piece that is your's you can't jump over it. You must move only one space at a time.





After you do that it should be your partner's turn. your partner has to move any piece diagonally one space.



If there is an empty space behind your partner's piece then you can capture your partner's piece by jumping over it.



If you jump over one and you look at another piece and there is an empty space on the other side of it then you could jump over the other one again.




The game ends when someone captures all of their partner's piece.

Other Rules.
You can't cheat. You can't move a piece to a space that has a piece already. You can't move backwards until you have a king. Now we will tell you how to get a king. When you move a checker piece all the way to your partner's back row then you grab one of your pieces that got captured. Then you put it on top of the piece that got to the back row. Now it is a king. When you have a king it can go back ward and forward.
