Mancala
One of the world's oldest strategy games — sow stones around a row of pits, capturing as many as possible in your store, in a deceptively simple yet deeply strategic two-player duel.
Nine Men's Morris
Players alternately place and move nine pieces on a grid to form rows of three called mills, removing an opponent's piece each time a mill is formed until the enemy has none left.
Go
An ancient Chinese two-player strategy game where black and white stones compete to surround more territory on the board — deceptively simple rules, virtually infinite depth.
Checkers
A two-player strategy classic on an eight-by-eight board — move disc-shaped pieces diagonally and capture your opponent's pieces by jumping over them to clear the board.
Backgammon
One of the world's oldest board games — two players race their fifteen pieces around the board using dice, blending luck with deep tactical decisions to bear off first.

Urban Foraging Tour
Guided walk identifying edible plants, herbs, berries, and fruits growing freely within a city or suburban environment — seeing your everyday streets as a living, seasonal larder.
Wild Berry Picking
Head to hedgerows, forests, or heathlands in late summer to gather blackberries, bilberries, or elderberries — a free, foraging adventure that connects children with seasonal food and nature.
