Rustic Games And Weddings: REBEC, or REBECK, a stringed musical instrument of the violin kind, said to have been introduced by the Moors into Spain. It soon became popular all over the Continent, being the favorite instrument of minstrels and of village musicians, and up till the end of the 17th century playing the same important part at fairs, rustic games and weddings as does the violin at the present day.
In the way of practical help, suggest games that could be played at home (e.g. word bingo or a cloze game where children fill in missing words or phrases), explaining the particular value of games to a child with reading problems -namely that they're fun and so don't seem too much like hard work, and also that they have a useful repetitive, reinforcing function. When you recommend a game, try to explain just how it is designed to help. There are booklets and pamphlets available, which give ideas for games that can easily be made and played at home (e.g. Hip Pocket Spelling Games series, New York, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983).
The Commonwealth Games are open to member nations of the British Commmonwealth. Originally called the Empire Games until 1970, they were first held in Canada in 1930. They are nicknamed 'the Friendly Games'.Whilst representing Canada Lennox Lewis,
subsequently WBC world heavyweight champion, won the super-heavyweight boxing gold medal in 1986 at Edinburgh.
