Making A Game Of It Carolyn Greenberg, Michael Maddin and Harold Berry 6i 4 An Israeli map game will be a highlight of this year's Israel Fest. Participants will answer questions on Israeli geography, history and borders by actually stepping onto a huge game board to study the map and move game pieces. The game, dubbed the Attractive Land, was rented from A Different Story, an Israeli company involved in educational programs. The 30- by 10-foot rectangular, yel- low, plastic map of Israel is placed on the floor, where up to 50 shoeless play- ers can participate in the interactive game. Game-play at the Israel Fest will be scheduled in 30-minute blocks, with families encouraged to play together. Lisa Hobson, Michigan/Israel Connection's assistant director, said each family will haVe an opportunity "to write a little note, including a wish that will be delivered to Israel and placed in the (Western) Wall." The company providing the game will supply a slide show of scenes from Israel to be viewed wearing 3-D glasses.
