Mini Mahjong for children 8 and up

A NEW 4-week series, led by Lorin Dunphy of File Mile Mahj introduces kids to the game of American mahjong in a fun, social, and skill-building environment. Each week builds on the last — from learning the tiles to playing full, independent games — so that by the end of the series, every child leaves as a confident mahjong player.
Mahjong is a wonderful way for kids to build pattern recognition, strategic thinking, patience, and social skills, all while having fun with friends around the table. This program is designed specifically for a young audience: engaging, hands-on, and paced to keep 8-12 year olds excited from week to week.
Four Mondays, 4-5:30pm
Sept. 28-Oct. 26 (excludes Columbus Day 10/12)
Week 1 — Welcome to the Table
Meet the tiles! Kids learn the parts of a mahjong hand, how to read the Mini Mahj card, and basic tile sorting and organization. We’ll play simple matching and sorting games to build tile fluency in a low-pressure, high-fun way and start to play “messy mahj”. We will have fun mini prizes for the group each week.
$240 per child for the 4 week session, please register below (limited to 12 children)
