Ever thought
of playing Bridge?
It has
long been believed by those who teach and are also involved in bridge that
learning the game or a simplified version of it Minibridge will benefit school
pupils not only in their education but in later years when they have more time
available and look to a leisure pursuit which will have benefits to their
health.
Minibridge
is a simplified version of bridge… and is a game which allows children the
opportunity to improve their logical and lateral thinking skills within the
framework of play. It offers dynamic brain training.
Dealing
with symbols (of the playing cards) requires focus and concentration. Playing
with three other players at the same table also helps develop personal
confidence, communication skills and sociability. Playing cooperatively with a
partner encourages team building and inter-personal awareness. Success at the
game is dependent on accurate data handling and reliable counting.”
School
children now have an opportunity to learn bridge at St Georges Bridge Centre in
Darlington. The club meets on Saturdays 10:00 to 12:00. For more information
