DOORWAY SCORING GAME
Hera s an article which is easily made from stiff paper, or, better still, thin cardboard, by means of which an interesting game may be played. \ou will also need some small stoues or marbles.
The size of the cardboard used will depend upon the number of holes required, but a small fourhole board can be made from a piece of thin cardboard about ten by five inches, as shown in Fig. 1.
First cut away the openings A to D for Fig. 1, and paint the numbers, as shown, in large black plain figures. Bend the sides F and F under the board, following in like manner with the top and bottom pieces, and well press the folds into the cardboard. Open out again and make the additional creases jn the cardboard as shown in Fig. 2.
Now bend the ends A and B of Fig. 2 at right angles, downwards, and pinch each corner inwards, bending along the dotted lines as shown. This will bring the sides into position and complete the
board, as seen in Fig. 3. Tiiere are many different methods of play and this will lie left to the ingenuity of the players.
