How Boys Enjoy Geography

Recently I was keeping a friend's children for the day.
Her two older boys are at and near Anton's age.
I was busy prepping something when I heard this thumping noise followed buy low cheers. Quietly, so as to try to see what they were doing but not feeling like it was an alarming moment, I crept up the stairs towards Anton's room.
There I spied the boys lined up on the far side of the room from Anton's "Wall of the World".
Justin put the challenge forwards, "OK, Can you hit Mongolia?"
Anton tossed a sticky ball,
a ball with little suction cups for sticking to walls,
at the world map.
Dominic, "No, that's China! You Loose! My turn!"
This proceeded for about 10-15 minutes with giggles, laughs and cheers.
