Jamal's Notes About Checkers

1Checkers is a board game for two players.

2Many checkers boards have red and black squares.

3My cousin Dee has a new puppy.

4Each player has a set of round, flat pieces.

5The pieces move on a slant, not straight ahead.

6I think checkers is more fun than tag.

7You can jump over the other player's piece to take it.

8When a piece gets to the other side of the board, it becomes a king.
