Checkers

My son wanted to play checkers, so I rummaged around in boxes of old toys and found an old checkerboard with checker pieces (minus a few). We played a few games and he quickly understood the basic rules of checkers. We played checkers until he had to go to grandma's house. After work when I came home, he wanted to play some more. I agreed because I would rather that he play checkers than watch television or play computer games all night. We played until it was bedtime. I wonder if he will quickly tire of checkers just like other games he has played. He might. If so, then we'll just move on to other constructive activities.
