The Country Game

The Country Game
This is something that will get us to learn facts about the countries of the world.

The rules are very simple:

Just a write a sentence (or sentences) - which may be either an opinion or a fact - about a country that comes after the country mentioned in the post above you in an alphabetic wise. For example, I will write something about Afghanistan because that is the first country according to the alphabetical order, and then, the next poster will write something about Albania because that is the country that comes next. If there is a country which you don't know anything about, then google it, or you can also look at the link below:

When all the countries have been used, then start from the beginning. The last poster wins. Big Grin

Here is the first one (for Afghanistan):

The national sport of Afghanistan is called "Buzkashi" ("goat grabbing"). It is a game where skilled horseback riders called "Chapandaz" are supposed to grab a headless goat placed on the ground, carry it around a flag or a marker at one end of the field, and then drop the carcass into a circle to score a point. The contestants will also carry a whip oftentimes to fend off the opposing horses and riders.

A short video that shows Afghans playing Buzkashi:
