Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. Exploring old customs with the help of our Grandma Nada, we learned how to create the most beautiful toys from natural materials. We are proud to keep our heritage from being forgotten in this way. Take a look at our little creations!"

The player places 5 stones on the ground and chooses one stone to toss. While tossing this stone, the player collects the others and catches the tossed stone before it falls.

Ones-Throw one stone. Pick up one stone. Catch the thrown stone. Repeat until all are collected.

Twos-Throw one stone. Pick up two stones at the same time. Catch it. Repeat for the remaining two.

Threes-Throw one stone. Pick up three stones together. Catch it. Then pick up the last stone.

Fours-Throw one stone. Pick up all four stones at once. Catch it.

Fives-Hold all five stones. Throw one stone. Drop the other four. Catch it. Throw it again and collect all four at once before catching it.

Castle-Make a “castle” with your thumb and index finger. Throw one stone. Push one ground stone through the “castle” and catch the tossed stone. Repeat for the others.

Note: If a stone thrown into the air falls to the ground, if another stone is touched while picking up a stone from the ground, if a stone hits another stone while passing through the castle, or if a stone does not pass completely through the castle,

the turn passes to the next player.

Seven Tiles is a fun and active game that children often play outside. It is usually played with two teams and requires attention, speed, and teamwork. To play the game, you need a ball and seven flat stones or tiles that can be stacked on top of each other.

Before the game starts, the seven tiles are stacked in the middle and the players are divided into two teams. The first team tries to throw the ball from a certain distance to knock down the stack of tiles. If the tiles fall, the exciting part of the game begins. The team that knocked down the tiles must try to stack them again before the other team hits them with the ball. Meanwhile, the other team tries to hit the players with the ball to stop them.

If the team manages to stack the tiles again without getting hit by the ball, they win a point. However, if the other team hits them with the ball, the turn ends and the other team gets a chance to play.

The Seven Tiles game teaches children teamwork, quick movement, and concentration. That is why it is both a fun and educational game.

Seven Stones, also called 7 Kremiti, is a traditional street game played by children. It is usually played in open areas with a ball and seven small stones or pieces of tile. The players are divided into two teams.

At the beginning of the game, the seven stones are stacked on top of each other to make a small tower. One team throws the ball from a distance to knock down the tower. After the stones fall, that team tries to stack them again.

The other team tries to hit the players with the ball to stop them. If the ball hits a player, that player is out of the game.

The team that rebuilds the tower first wins the game. This game is fun and active, and it helps children learn teamwork and quick movement. 😊

➢ Mangala is a game structured around 4 basic rules.

To play the game, it is necessary to know these four basic rules well. In addition to these 4 rules, it is very important to know and apply all the rules that we will explain below. ➢ The 4 basic rules of the Mangala game;

1- If the player making the move places the last stone in their hand into their treasure, they get the right to play again.

2- The player making the move places the last stone in their hand into the opponent's pit, and if the number of stones in this pit is an even number (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12), they take the stones from this pit and carry them to their own treasure, and the turn passes to the opponent.

3- The player making the move places the last stone in their hand into their own empty pit, and if there are stones in the opponent's pit opposite this pit, they take the stones from both the opponent's pit and their own pit and carry them to their treasure, and the turn passes to the opponent.

4- The player who finishes their pit first takes the stones from the opponent's pit to their treasure.
