Dis forDominos

Dominos is a game played with a set of pieces, with each piece having a number printed at each end. The numbers are made with spots, like on the sides of dice. The most common game played with domino pieces is where each person gets a number of the pieces, and then try and place them against another piece where the numbers on their piece matches the numbers on a piece already placed. The person who puts all their pieces down first wins.
A ferris wheel is a fairground ride shaped like a large wheel. It has lots of seats hanging around the edges that people can sit in. Ferris wheels are really big and go really high, so the view from the top can be spectacular.

Gis forGoal

A goal is something that you aim for or work towards - a goal is the end point of something. You might have a goal to save $1000 by the end of the year, or to lose 5 pounds. In many sports, a goal is a place you try and get a ball into.

Hopscotch is a children's jumping game. There are lots of different variations in different countries, but most involve a course drawn on the ground with a stick or on the sidewalk with chalk. Usually a stone or other marker is thrown onto the course to say how far the next person has to jump.
A hula hoop is a large ring, usually made of brightly colored plastic. You put it around your waist and swing your hips around so the hoop swirls around you and doesn't fall to the ground.
