Play Chinese Checkers - It's Fun!

I remember when I was a kid I used to play Chinese Checkers with my Mom all the time.

It was a lot of fun, although it doesn't actually involve checkers, but instead marbles.

I have just started playing this game with my kids, because it involves using marbles typically (although the video below shows it being played with pegs instead), and as anyone with small children knows marbles and toddlers don't mix well.

However, once your house can take a stray marble or two in it for a couple of minutes, this game is lots of fun for both kids and adults.

It can be simple, but can be fun if you employ some strategy into it, meaning that all ages can enjoy it.

Below is a video that explains how to play Chinese Checkers and also the Chinese checkers rules.
