1. What are dominoes?2. What do you know about them?3. Have you played before?4. Where do you think they were invented?5. What do you think they are made from?

History of Dominoes• Likely invented in China around the 1100 AD

• Shares its origin (and name) with playing cards• Probably originally made from bone or wood

• Introduced to the rest of the world as trade increased with Europe• First recorded use in Italy• Has become a popular game all over the world

• Name probably comes from “dominus” (Latin)• Means master of the house

• Today, dominoes are played throughout Latin America• Has become a cultural symbol in Hispanic neighborhoods in the U.S.

How to Play!• Dominoes must be “shuffled”• Everyone needs 7 tiles (Groups of 4)• Don’t show anyone!

• Whoever has the 6x6 begins• The player on his or her RIGHT goes next• This person must match his/her domino to the previous person

• One side of the domino must match the other

• Then, the person must draw a new domino (till they’re out)

• If someone can’t play, he or she must pass to the next person• Game ends when someone plays his/her final tile• If no one can play, the game can also stop then!

Read the following passage—Ms. T will have questions for you to answer!

Mariana es mi amiga. A Mariana no le gusta beber refrescos. Normalmente, ella bebe agua y jugo. Para desayuno, ella bebe leche y come cereales o tostadas. Ella no cocina mucho, pero le gusta cocinar pescado. Nosotros cocinamos carne y sopa también.

A mí me gusta beber refrescos y no bebo leche. Mariana y yo comemos sándwiches o ensalada para almuerzo. Yo como papas fritas con mi sándwich y ella come verduras. Estoy satisfecho con mi almuerzo.
