Kids love to make and create their own games. Here's an idea that twin
7 year-old boys came up with. They've even created lots of different
variations on the basic game. Find out how to make your own Marble
Game.
Don't remember some of the marble games you played as a child? Here are

The first player places his marble on the box and manipulating the box so the marble falls into hole#1. if
succeeds, he then tries for #2. If he doesn't succeed, it's the second
player's turn and player one will try for hole#2 on his next turn.
Players can choose any hole that has the right number. If the marble
goes in the wrong numbered hole, it's the next player's turn.
The first player who gets his marble in hole#5 wins!
Play game 1 as level one. After a player succeeds in getting his marbles into all 5 holes, he
begins stage 2, which means he starts from hole 2 through 5. When he
completes stage 2, he starts stage 3: holes 3-5, then stage 4, holes 4-5.
The first to stage 5 (just hole 5) wins.
Get as many points as possible. Players try to get their marble into the highest value
hole. Each player gets 5 marbles, 5 tries. Add up the values of the holes the marbles
enter.
The player with the highest score wins.
Place one marble of each player on board. Each player gets turn to manipulate to marbles on board.
Both players will get the value of their marbles. So the player must try to get his marble into the
high value holes, and his opponent's marble into low.
The player with the highest score wins.
Game for single player: Try to see how many turns it takes to progressively put the marble in holes 1-5. If on the first try,
he manages to put the marble in holes 1,2 and 3, then misses 4, on the next try,
he starts from hole 1 again.
The variations on these games seem endless.
Thanks to Judy N. and her boys for coming up with this idea and sending it in
to share with other kids!
