Hi, I have to make a basket for a school fundraiser. In this basket I need to put in things that represent Jamaica. I need help with suggestions of things that any adult or child who is from or interested in Jamaica would enjoy. Thank You !

<span style="font-size: 11pt">How about a pack of dominoes?
Another game is Ludy - but might be hard to find as they are generally hand made... an alternative would be a game called 'Trouble' - same design, same concept just North Americanized... aka Parcheesi</span>

Hat’s off. Well done, as we know that “hard work always pays off”, after a long struggle with sincere effort it’s done.

Hi SistahD!
I was just SO ASTONISHED
to see that so-familiar 'Ghanaian' gameboard in a Jamaican context. I guess the game must be a very old one - but it's very very common and popular here. Jamaica and Ghana have so much in common! 
Anyway, I'm glad to hear that the Sista got her basket together and I hope it was appreciated by the recipient.Comment

I was in Ghana in 1978 -79 they had a military coup while I was there. Some dude called Mike rawlings (half Scot / Ghanain) deposed general Achiapong (spellin may not be too cool) Great place though and the kids are real clever hombres.Comment
