Black History i gmms ENTERTABSMENT! g Take our test and find out how much you know about black leaders in arts and entertainment Duke Ellington. Mahaiia Jackson. Walter Mosley. Black Americans, all, who’ve left a vital, indelible mark on our world. So for Black History Month, we offer a board game on important people in the arts. Use this game to test how much you know. Or use it to leam something. By working your way around the board, you’ll meet fascinating people who’ve made remarkable contributions to literature, music, television and film. Some questions are about people living today, so current you can see them on TV. in movies or concerts. Others focus on people from the past, their stories found in books or on the Internet. OK, everybody ready? You need one die and playing pieces for each team (coins for one team, buttons for the other, for example) to mark the squares. The game ends when every square has a marker. It might be helpful to have a nonplayer checking answers. moves the appropriate spaces. If the leam answers the question ccxrectly, place a marker on that square (the nwker remains throughout the game). If the team gets it wrong, the other team tries to answer that question and mark the square. If no team answers the question correctly, the square remains empty fw this round. The second team then throws the die and proceeds around the board. (Note: Each turn begins at the open square after the last question asked. For instance: The fu^t team rolls a three and lands on the question about the filmmaker. The next team starts count ing with the fourth square. Let's say that team rolls a two. The team’s question will be about the jazz composer.) Teams continue throwing the die and moving around the board, skipping squares filled with markers. Teams will have to travel around the board more than once to hit every square. The team with the most markers on the board wins. But if you’ve learned something along the way, how can you lose? \ lityin UlQfM lllilM iiffUitt MtJtrf HERE'S HOW TO PLAY: Divide into two teams and flip a coin to see who goes fu^t.
