Charlie and I will be using Dominoes in our lessons this morning. We purchased a set of Double Six Dominoes at Walmart but you can get them on there website which is Cardinal Games.
Dominoes:
Dominoes a tile-based game played with gaming pieces. Each domino is a rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is marked with a number of spots although there is blanks.
A traditional European domino set consists of 28 tiles, featuring all combinations between zero and six. A domino set is a game similar to playing cards because a variety of games can be played with a set.
Did you know that the earliest mention of dominoes was from Song dynasty China found in the text Former Events in Wulin by Zhou Mi (1232–1298).
Modern dominoes first appeared in Italy during the 18th century. They were different from Chinese dominoes. European dominoes may have developed independently, or Italian missionaries in China may have brought the game to Europe.
Double Six Color Dot Dominoes includes 28 durable ivory plastic Dominoes that stack neatly in the collectible tin. Learn to play different ways with the included instructions.
