Visit Boston Children's Museum on Saturday, July 23rd to pick up your Mancala Adventure Ticket, then travel down the street to Grand Circle Gallery to learn and play Mancala as it's played in different countries in Africa!

When you arrive at the gallery, game boards and “Master Mancala” players from Boston Children's Museum will be waiting to instruct and challenge. After three games, players' tickets are stamped and participants receive a prize.

Not only will you learn how Mancala is played in different countries, but additional activities and objects will be available as learning tools to understand the differences between cultures in various African regions. Parents have activities too!

The event is in conjunction with Grand Circle Gallery's exhibition 'Travels Through Africa', a display of vintage travel posters promoting tourism to Africa as well as authentic African objects and sculptures.
