Maya's Checkers Group

By: Alyssia, Kevin, Derrick, & Nicky

Materials:
You need two different colored checker pieces for each color, a 64 squared checkerboard, and people.

Setting up the Game:
Before you begin you unfold the checkerboard. Next choose one colored square to put the pieces on. You must stay on the color you pick for the whole game. After that each person chooses which color they want to be! Then put your pieces on the back three rows and leave the two middle rows empty.

How to Play:
The darker color goes first. The darker color chooses a piece to move diagonally. The lighter color goes next and moves one piece diagonally. You can get another piece by jumping over it diagonally into an empty space. It is also possible to do double jumps, triple jumps, and more.




If one of your pieces gets on your opponent's back row, that piece is kinged. When you become king the other player must put another piece of the same color on top of your piece or flip the kinged piece over. The king can move forwards and backwards diagonally.


There are two ways to win. The first way is by blocking all of your opponent's pieces so they can't move. The second way is by capturing all of your opponent's pieces.
