Board Game History!

Hi!
Today I will be talking about the history of board games!
I hope you learn something.

Board game are used widely around the world and even in countries not available to the actual boards who draw their boards in the sand. Even though they are widely, not many people have learnt there origin.

The first ever recorded use of board games was over 7000 years ago found in Ur (Iran in 5500BC).
Many old games have been found in tombs like this one. Many important parents would bury their children (if they were deceased) in a tomb with their favourite toys and games.
The early Egyptians used mud gaming boards. A board and a peg was found in a tomb at about 2800BC shows to players with pegs. Dice were used in this game and it had a drawer with more pieces where they were stored.

Board game were used for entertainment and fun. Now a lot of board game are for championships and for some they are their life! If you go to a chess champs it is very interesting to see what happens! Chess is the oldest surviving game!

I hope you learnt some thing from this post!

New Horizons!


NEW HORIZONS!



Hi! Today I will be writing about my New Horizons trip I did last term!

The ride there is twisty and will quickly make anyone sick if you don't look straight forward, still, I continue to talk to the kids in the back. We talk about many things ranging from the latest pop songs to the cows passing by. We realize how unusual it is to have a studio in the middle of no where, but where assume that is what makes it unique. After what seemed like an hour drive, we finally arrive. A small house greets us.


My fingers smashing on the keyboard make wonderful sounds. All the sounds are collected in one computer where they are piled up to make a big heap of fine music. Singers are in the mute room, their instruments are their mouths. The Drummer is in the loud room where sounds are reflected off wall to prevent sounds from escaping in to outsiders ears. The Drummers instrument is their drums and sticks. The Guitarist's fingers pick and strings which wobble and shake, these sound are emitted from a speaker in to a mic that sends he sounds to the pile. The Guitarist's instrument is the strings. My instrument is the keys in which when pressed emit unique melody's.

A new set of children are in the car now. This time crazy and erratic. They poke there heads out the window shouting at passer-byes! And the laughing! Oh the laughing was enough to drive a grown man crazy! But luckily i am not a grown my and thought this was hilarious also. My dad on the other hand looked he was in a bubble that blocked out all sound; he looked like he couldn't hear a word!
This all had to end because we had reached our destination. Another two days of this? I've got a long ride ahead of me!
