In Response To: Volunteers help grow the game (Phil Simborg)

What's a good curriculum to teach Backgammon to kids? I imagine you start by showing them the starting position, how to move the checkers, how doubles are handled, hitting/re-entering and bearing off. Do you go beyond that? Bringing down builders, cube handling, pip counting, etc?
