Sue Davis, G.A.T.E.ways
This game was invented by a bright five year old in Sue's G.A.T.E.ways class. You are invited to explore it with your class and send us a report. G.A.T.E.ways is an independent organisation extending the education of children nominated as 'brighter'. You can read more about Sue's Poly Plug experiences in this article.

Rules
| Start with a red board which has two empty spaces as shown.
- Two players sit opposite each other across the board.
- Each player owns an empty space (a hole) and the objective is to be first to
move it to the opponent's starting point.
- Moves are made by removing another plug and placing it in the
current hole. In effect, therefore, the hole moves across the
board.
- Holes can only move forward or sideways - never back.
- Holes can only move one vertical, horizontal or diagonal space
from their current position on each turn.
