Games Day

On 12 of June Sumy Window on America center was visited by the high school students. In summer when the time of vacations and holidays comes, our center becomes a favorite place of leisure activity for many schoolchildren. They just came to the library to learn some new games. We showed and tested  new collection of board games such as “Taboo” and “Monopoly”, also our guests collected puzzle map of the United States. Our staff and schoolchildren worked together to help each other to learn new games because the best way to learn new game is in a group. We had a great fun playing board games!

We told them about printed resources of the Sumy WOA and made brief demonstrations of the Kindles and iPads.  Besides we gave them information about Rosetta Stone program designed to help learn English and told about work of the PC volunteers in Sumy, about our clubs and courses of foreign languages. After that each group of children played Kinect games.
