Board games for kids are a great way to play together. At the same time, in addition to having fun, they contribute to the development of the child. Depending on the game, intellectual, speech, and creative abilities can develop. Today we invite you to make DIY board games to develop your baby's intellectual abilities and... These games will be of interest to preschoolers and primary schoolchildren, and production will take no more than 15 minutes.
Tangram
Tangram is an ancient Chinese puzzle invented in the 6th century BC. It is a square divided into 7 figures: triangles - 2 large, 2 small and 1 medium, a square and a parallelogram. The essence of the game is to use these 7 figures to assemble another given figure based on its silhouette. In this case, all figures must be used and it is not allowed to overlap one figure with another.
Tangram develops logic, attention, imaginative and abstract thinking, as well as fine motor skills.
How to make a tangram?
You can use cardboard, thick felt or porous rubber as a basis. If you plan to make the game one color, then cut out a square and divide it into parts according to the scheme. If you choose a multi-colored puzzle, then first draw a tangram pattern on paper, cut it into pieces, and then cut out tangram shapes of different colors using the pattern. I chose the second method to make it easier for the child to assemble the shapes according to the color scheme. The material I use is porous rubber with a velvet coating, the size of the assembled game is 17 by 17 cm. The figures from this tangram are quite large.
In addition to the puzzle, you need diagrams. They are varied in subject matter and can be easily found on the Internet. You can print them out or draw them yourself in a notebook (like ours).
There are 3 types of circuit complexity:
- The diagram is divided into tangram shapes and colored according to the color of the main shapes. This is the simplest option, when the child matches the colored figure with the drawn one and lays out the given figure by copying.
- The scheme is divided into main figures, but is monochromatic. There is no longer a color hint.
- The diagram is a silhouette without breaking down into main figures. Such tasks become available at school age.
Tic Tac Toe
The well-known game in our version is “Berries - Mushrooms”. Develops logic and thinking. To make it we will need: multi-colored porous rubber, 1 meter of thick yarn (bright braid or rope), scissors and glue. 
Manufacturing process:
- We cut out the playing field - a square measuring 22 by 22 cm.
- We prepare 2 pieces of yarn, 22 cm each, and glue it onto the playing field in accordance with the generally accepted pattern.
- We cut out berries (5 pieces) from red rubber and glue a green stalk on top.
- We cut out mushrooms from brown rubber, also 5 pieces. We decorate the white legs with white rubber. In the absence of the latter, I used a piece of white felt.
When the game is dry, you can play.
Tired of the mess in your nursery? Tired of endlessly collecting toys for your child?
Labyrinth
I made 2 mazes for my daughter: a large one and a small one with different tasks. In the small one, you need to help Masha get to the fruit tree. But waiting for her on the way are a spider, a bee and a snail. You need to choose the safest path. In the big labyrinth you need to help Luntik collect all the toys and bring them to Kuza to play together. 
To make a labyrinth we will need:
- box lid (I used lids from our board games, now these are 2 in 1 games),
- cocktail straws,
- glue,
- scotch,
- large bead,
- stickers or cut-out figures depending on the tasks and plot of your game.
Now on the lid we mark the labyrinth itself, that is, the places where you will glue the tubes. You can create a labyrinth yourself, use our version, or copy a suitable one from the Internet. Now we try on and cut the cocktail tubes so that they exactly match the given design. We glue them with PVA glue, then carefully glue the stickers (figures). When the glue dries, additionally secure the ends of the tubes with tape.
Soap bubbles can be blown almost endlessly. At least until the solution runs out. To prevent this from happening soon, make a large supply: 3.5 liters of water, a glass of dishwashing liquid, a tablespoon of glycerin. The barrel of solution is ready!
22. Drawing without stains
If you pour a little shower gel mixed with dyes into a durable, hermetically sealed bag, your child will be able to draw futuristic pictures with their fingers without getting dirty!
23. DIY car wash
Kids can play for hours in the bathroom with a real car wash, which can be made from a five-liter plastic jerry can, scouring pads and moisture-resistant adhesive tape.
From the canister you need to cut out the body of the sink with entry and exit. Cut dish sponges into thin long sticks and glue them vertically to the ceiling of the sink. Use permanent markers to color the design. Place shaving foam in empty yogurt containers, take old toothbrushes and toy cars. The imagination will do the rest.
24. Science experiment with balloons
Show your child a chemical experiment in the kitchen. Pour a spoonful of baking soda into a balloon and pour vinegar into an empty plastic bottle. Place the ball onto the neck of the bottle and secure tightly. Gradually pour the baking soda from the balloon into the bottle. The neutralization reaction will release large amounts of carbon dioxide, which will inflate the balloon.
25. Frozen Dinosaur Egg
If your child loves dinosaurs, show him how ancient lizards hatched from eggs. Place a dinosaur figurine in a balloon and fill it with colored water, then put the balloon in the freezer. When the water freezes, call the young paleontologists. Remove the “shell” of the ball from the eggs and look at the dinosaur in the ice. You can remove the toy using a small hammer (you just need to do this with swimming goggles so that small pieces of ice do not damage your eyes).
26. Banana ice cream
You can make popsicles with just one ingredient. Take bananas (preferably slightly overripe), peel and cut into thin pieces. Place in the freezer. After a couple of hours, remove the frozen bananas and blend in a blender until the mixture resembles thick sour cream. The ice cream can be eaten immediately or put into molds and re-frozen. Older children can handle the cooking themselves!
Previously, every home had a set of board games - chess, checkers, dominoes, lotto. The whole family spent evenings playing these games. Children found simple walking games in magazines. Today, board games for a group are much less common. They are quite expensive, and children increasingly prefer a computer.
Buy board games for children or…
Nobody argues about the benefits of these fun. Board games for children and adults not only allow you to have fun, but also force you to think through strategy, interact with other participants and resolve conflict situations.
Where can I get them? Of course, they can be purchased at a toy store or at specialized retail outlets. The second option is preferable - the choice is huge, and the consultants will be able to suggest a game that will be suitable for the participants by age and can captivate them for a long time. If in your city board games for the company are presented in a small assortment, then you can use the services of an online store.
For beginners, it is preferable to choose the most popular games for the appropriate age category. But what if, after seeing the price, you are speechless? You especially don’t want to spend a large amount if you are not sure that this type of leisure will take root in your family. You can make a board game with your own hands!
Print And Play
Behind this name lies a whole movement. His goal is to play a board game with his own hands. In Russian it sounds like “print and play.” And indeed, you just need to download the file, print it, cut out the necessary parts - and you can play. Amateurs not only copy already known games, but also invent their own.
The obvious advantage of this method is low material costs and a minimum of labor. This method is also good because you can get acquainted with the rules and elements of the game in detail, try it out, and only then buy it in the store.
But there are also disadvantages - cards and fields printed on plain paper quickly become unusable. They can be glued to cardboard or protected from tearing with tape, but the appearance of such crafts is still lost.
Cards can be printed on thick cardboard, cut using a printing method, and even laminated. But the cost of such work may even exceed the price of a game from the store. This method is suitable for those who can print the game for free or at a big discount. A more budget option is cards in the form of business cards.
There is another option - a do-it-yourself board game from scratch, made entirely independently.
What you will need
To make the game you will need:
- A sheet of white cardboard or thick paper.
- Scissors.
- Glue.
- Ruler.
- Eraser.
- Pencils, markers, paints.
- Magazine clippings, stickers.
- Scotch.
Instead of player figures, you can use toys made from chocolate eggs, and if you lose a cube, make it out of plasticine. When everything is ready, you can choose a game and start making it. You can do this with the whole family.
Monopoly
Almost everyone played Monopoly or its modifications. Everyone knows and loves this simple and interesting game. You can make everything you need for the game yourself. You can take a ready-made game as a basis, and experienced players can change and complicate the standard field.
First of all, draw a looped game field on whatman paper. It needs to be marked into separate cells. Now you can draw company cards indicating prices and rent. And there is room for creativity here. Titles may not correspond to the original game. Come up with your own companies, for example, from the “Land of Wizards”, or take real names from your area.
You can draw money, use small bills, or simply add up the count on a piece of paper. You can do without a common field - just lay out the cards on the table. This way you can lay out a new field for each game.
If you are not familiar with the rules of the game, simply copy the original version. Pay special attention to the economic model - if you do not comply with the necessary proportions, you will not be able to play, there will be too much money or, on the contrary, there will not be enough of it .
The board game "Monopoly", made with your own hands, will bring many happy hours to the whole family. You can make it together with your children.
Board game "Labyrinth"
"Crazy Maze" is another game with simple mechanics, but extremely exciting. It was invented 30 years ago, but it began to gain popularity here recently. Can be played by 2 to 4 players. The goal of the game is to find various objects in the maze.
If you are not familiar with this game, read the rules first and watch the introductory videos. The rules are simple and easy to understand.
Let's start by making treasure cards. We will need 12 rectangular cards made of cardboard or thick paper. Draw different treasures on them. This could be jewelry, magical objects, clothing, animals. You can use stickers here, but there must be 2 copies of the same treasures - i.e. 12 pairs of stickers + 13 fake treasures in a single copy.
Let's make field cards. In total we will need 50 square cards made of thick cardboard or paper. On each we draw parts of the labyrinth. 12 cards with corners, 12 with straight corridors, 12 with corners and treasures, 13(!) cards of intersections of three corridors with treasures.
We see that there are only 12 treasure cards, and 25 maze cards with treasures. Redraw the images from the treasure cards onto the maze cards, 6 each at corners and intersections, and put fake treasures on the remaining ones. This is necessary in order to confuse your opponents.
Now let's make the field. This is a simple square of cardboard, a few centimeters larger than the square formed by the laid out maze cards. On the board, mark the start for each character. The board game "Labyrinth" is ready. To make the game last longer, you can reinforce all elements with tape.
"Walkers"
Do you want to come up with your own game? The simplest DIY board game is “Walker”. It is easy to do on a large sheet of paper. You need to draw a long route, a starting point and an ending point. Divide the path into parts indicating each individual move. The game is ready.
Now you need to come up with a story according to which the game will develop, supplement it with cards and tasks. For example, for the little ones you can come up with the plots of “Competition in the forest”, “Little bunnies run to their mother”, and in games for older children wizards, fairies, princesses or heroes of their favorite cartoons and books will travel.
Players roll the dice and make as many moves as indicated on the dice. The game can be varied by using special cells: make a move back, make a move forward, skip the next move, follow the arrow and take a task card. You can do it just like that, you can set a reward for good performance or a penalty for failure.
How to come up with a plot for a game
Let’s take, for example, a story for the little ones - “Little bunnies run to their mother.” Let's come up with a backstory about how the little bunnies live in a forest house with their mom and dad, go to a forest kindergarten every day, and on the way home they have competitions to see who can run home the fastest.
You can link tasks to this plot. For example: a bunny saw a bush that looked like a wolf, got scared and made three moves back; the bunny ate the porridge well, so he has a lot of strength - make 2 moves forward; the little hare met a chipmunk - guess his riddle, and he will lead you through his hole; The little bunny met his bunny grandmother: tell her a poem, etc. The more tasks there are, the more interesting the game, but there should also be simple free cells.
For older children, a great idea is to make your favorite characters the heroes of the game. A DIY board game will become doubly interesting if you are familiar with the work and weave its storylines into the mechanics of the game. You can weave a quiz element into the game for older children. For example: a troll is blocking the door, answer his question and he will let you through/take a shortcut. Questions may relate to the plot of the selected work, or contain riddles or interesting tasks.
At the final stage you need to decorate the playing field and cards. If you're not good at drawing, you can use stickers and magazine clippings.
Have you noticed how all the children transfer the sun from the sky to their album sheet? Irina Ivaskiv is with you. But in the same way, you can use everything that surrounds us to make board games with your own hands. Early childhood development is practiced all over the world. And you can’t do without games here. With the help of games, it is easier for a child to think, perceive and assimilate new material. The selection of board games in stores is huge, but the descriptions do not always correspond to the content and meet the expectations from the purchase. And the prices are such that you won’t stay in this department for long. But it’s so easy to make board games with your own hands – just a little ingenuity, time and available tools! Here are just a few of the most popular and beloved board games that are easy to make yourself.
Walking / Adventure
“Walkers” is one of the most favorite children's games. Average number of participants: 2-4 people. You will need: a playing field, dice and chips.
Suitable for the playing field:
- for preschool children: a simple route with the plot of a familiar folk tale (for example, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Kolobok”, etc.)
- for older children: a geographical map with more complex navigation and overcoming various obstacles and tasks
The size of the field, the length of the route, and the complexity of the tasks are proportional to the age of the participants in the game. You can make a field from cardboard, whatman paper, or leftover wallpaper. Don't forget to include cells with tricks when, having stopped on a certain cell, the player either gives way or returns 3 cells back. Mark the start and finish and show the direction of travel with arrows.
A cube for the game can be made from thick paper or purchased ready-made in a store. Chips for the game can be made from coins, unnecessary buttons, or favorite figures. In a word, let your imagination fly and, voila, your own board games are ready! The rules of such games are very simple. The point is to reach the finish line first. Players take turns throwing a digital die and, according to the number that appears, make the required number of moves, moving around the map.
Maze games
A fairly simple game, but even adults can enjoy it. The materials you will need are a lid from a box of chocolates, glue moment, cocktail tubes and a small ball (a large bead or plasticine ball will do). A picture of a labyrinth can be found on the Internet, in magazines with crossword puzzles or in educational materials for preparing for school. But it will be much more fun to use your own imagination! Draw a picture, glue the tubes and... get started! Diversify the board game with a stopwatch: come on, who will get the ball out of the tangled maze faster?
Tic Tac Toe
Psychologists recommend offering this game for the development of logical thinking to children from 4-5 years old. The field can be made from any material that is at hand: wood, fabric, felt, paper. Chips must be of two colors (5 pieces for each player). For girls, chips can be made in the form of flowers or hearts, for boys - in the form of small cars or balls. There are countless ideas here: clouds and suns, months and stars, mittens and snowflakes, dogs and bones, etc. Any material for chips is also suitable: plasticine, buttons, mashed potatoes lids, cubes, old puzzles painted the same color. Opponents choose chips by color or shape. The first player to cover the entire row horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins. For older children, the number of squares on the field may be more than the standard nine. Use a more “adult” design for them.

By creating this board game yourself, you can move away from the design standards of classic checkers. For example, draw a playing field not with black and white cells, but with yellow and green ones, and populate such a lawn with ladybugs or frogs as checkers. Here everything can be brought to life. To make a field, take thick cardboard, mark it with a pencil into identical 10*10 cells, and paint the cells in a checkerboard pattern with watercolors or colored pencils. For checkers, you can take 40 caps from drink bottles or jars of baby puree. Color them with a marker, stick on stickers of the desired color (20 for each player). Even if you don’t have the required number of caps on hand, together with your child, sculpt the missing characters from plasticine.
Dominoes/lotto
Children and adults still enjoy playing this game; no computer game can compare with dominoes. The main rule: build a chain of dominoes, placing halves with an equal number of dots next to each other. These DIY board games are a rich platform for creativity! You can use flat, smooth, approximately equal-sized pebbles, wooden ice cream spatulas, pieces of plywood, and multi-colored felt. For a child 4-6 years old, it is better to make a colored domino or lotto with images of animals and objects with which he is familiar. Older children will find it more interesting to play the classic game with a score.

Geometric domino Scrabble games
They perfectly develop vocabulary, thinking, imagination, logic, and spelling. These board games can be easily made by yourself. They are suitable for schoolchildren, because they require both reading and numeracy skills. The rules of the game are for each player to create a new word from the available letters, adding one of their own letters. For the field you will need a thick sheet of cardboard in the shape of a square with 15*15 cells and letters (cut from cardboard, bent from wire, or taken from a magnetic alphabet). At the beginning of the game, determine how many points will be scored for letters of a certain color: for a red letter, for example, 1 point, for a green letter, for example, 2 points, etc. Paint several squares on the field. These will be bonuses: when you land on these cells, your points will be doubled. The one who earns the most points wins.

You can also make the very popular board game “Double” all over the world yourself. This will require 57 round or square cards with two images. Each picture should be repeated on different cards from three to eight times. Print out the images and color them. You can also use multiple sets of the same stickers. The rules of the game are to find a pair - a match on two cards, yours and the main one. Whoever identifies the match first by loudly shouting out the matching item takes the card for themselves. The player with the most cards wins.
Game "Fleas"
Game = fun, number of participants - 2 people. The edge of the bean is pressed with a coin, and it jumps up like a flea. Goal: hit the opponent's goal with a bean. The one who hits gets a point and the flea is removed from the field. If the flea gets into its own field, it can be used again. If a flea hits the opponent's field, the flea is removed from the field, but the point is not scored. If the flea hits your own goal (which doesn’t happen in football!), the point is awarded to the opponent. They play until someone runs out of fleas. A candy box is suitable for making a field. Cover the inside of the box with colored paper and the walls with thick fabric (this will prevent the beans from flying out of the box). For fleas, use beans of 2 colors. The last preparation is a couple of large coins.

Conclusion
Making board games with your own hands is not difficult, but the joy from them is many times greater! What’s also great about them is that not only can you play them together, but you can also make them together!

Types of board games for DIY: where creativity and the desire to play take us
If the question arises about how to create your own board game, you need to at least roughly imagine in which direction to move. There are several types of games that are great to make and are fun to use for relaxing in company:
- an adventure game of any theme with cubes and chips;
- economic game: “monopoly”, “market”, “millionaire” and other similar names;
- card game: “mafia”, “crocodile” and others;
- occupation of the type “finish, rebuild”;
- figure games: backgammon, chess, checkers, dominoes.
Having chosen the direction, you need to decide what the board game will be made of and prepare everything for its manufacture. As a last resort, you should find out if there is a board game rental nearby, try the option you like, and then reproduce it yourself.
How to create a board game for players of different ages: the nuances of creation
An idea is wonderful, but one is not enough. To successfully implement the idea, you need to focus on the age of the players. This is an important factor: children will not understand what to do with an economic toy, and older children may find the children's version not so interesting and dynamic.

Next, you should select the dimensions of the product. If this is an option for kids, then the parts should be large, because the field will be located on the floor. But the teenage scale will be smaller and more detailed.
PHOTO: lordofboards.com.ua
Any gaming product is created according to the following scheme:
- Idea.
- Taking into account age nuances.
- Sketch.
- Search and selection of materials.
- Manufacturing.
Advice! First you should test the sketch, in this case it will be possible to provide for all the little details and eliminate shortcomings before creating the final version.
After making adjustments, you can continue to work, creating a gaming miracle.
Making a board game with your own hands for preschool children
Preschool children prefer large or medium-sized games. These can be field adventures, simple quests, puzzles. Field adventures are created for children aged 5-6 years. You can even involve them in creating the game, at least listen to their wishes and ideas, and let them play it!
PHOTO: gretahome.ru
Adventure games consist of a field painted with paths and pictures, chips and one or two cubes.
The field requires cardboard. But the plot itself can be applied directly to the base with felt-tip pens or separately on paper, and then glue it to the base.
PHOTO: golos.io
Shooters complicate the gameplay, making it more fun. Using arrows of different colors, you can jump to other circles and go back. Or you can introduce an element of surprise by marking some areas with a different color. By standing on this field, the player must receive a prize or sing a song, and perhaps receive a kiss from his parents.
Puzzles are popular with younger and older children. For kids 3-4 years old, you can make them soft from felt or make cardboard analogues.
PHOTO: razvivashkidoma.rf
This is the kind of board game for kids that you can even print out. The printed picture is pasted onto cardboard and cut into parts, and the second same image serves as a “helper”.
What about older children: how to make a board game with your own hands for schoolchildren
Schoolchildren need more varied games. You can use different materials to create a gaming product and actively involve the children themselves.
For example, Memory Cards is another DIY board game that you can simply print and cut.
PHOTO: youtube.com
This is an excellent gaming material for training memory and attention. You need to make a large number of images, but in pairs: each image is repeated once. All images are turned face down, and then a pair is found for the open picture. One move allows you to open only two pictures, but if they are the same, the pair is removed and the move continues.
For schoolchildren, you can take the game “crocodile”, but in a simplified version, and also introduce them to any traditional games, for example, checkers. Checkers can be made from pebbles or buttons, and a checkered field can be drawn using a ruler and paints.
What teenagers play: suitable DIY board games
Teenagers willingly join the “mafia.” You need to download the cards of this board game and print them. You need to read the rules carefully, choose a driver and get a lot of positive emotions!

DIY board games at home from different materials: what to do on the weekend
We suggest you spend the next weekend in an interesting and unusual way: it’s time to create your own home production of board games that your family and friends will play. Let's see what materials can be used for the job.
Wooden board games
Wood can be used as a base not only by master carpenters. There are options available for everyone.
Dominoes and lotto
Get away from the computer! We buy a supply of wooden ice cream sticks, acrylic paints, brushes and create a fun domino!
Dominoes can captivate you the first time. The idea is to build a chain of single-colored tips or endings with a corresponding number of points that are applied to each other.

Tangram
To create a tangram, you need minimal carpentry skills, but if you have the tools, for example, from a neighbor, you can make a useful product.
The essence of the tangram is to reproduce the proposed figures. Each figure consists of a set of elements that must be placed in a certain way.
All the necessary elements are cut out from wooden blocks or flat plywood with a jigsaw. The parts need to be sanded with sandpaper, then covered with varnish or paint.
PHOTO: lovingmama.ru
Cubes: tic-tac-toe
From wooden blocks it is easy to cut cubes of the same size, which are convenient to hold in your hand. On each cube you need to burn symbols like crosses and zeros with a burning machine, but you can take any. If you don’t want to burn, you can simply mark the shapes with paint.

We create interesting and colorful paper board games with our own hands
We suggest spending time so that you can get together with your household and discover new facets of character in each other. It's time to learn how to make a board game out of paper without putting it off for a long time.
Treasure Hunt
A variant of the action game genre. It is always interesting to look for treasures, especially if the parents provide a real prize. But you can take other stories, from your favorite cartoons and fairy tales.
Game options:
- geographic map;
- map based on fairy tales;
- local map.
PHOTO: lifeacademy.pearl.pp.ua
First, we create a “legend”, then we draw a sketch, where the main thing will be a “path” of equal steps. You will have to buy a dice (or two), and as chips you can take toys from Kinder Surprise.
We fill the empty spaces around the track with drawings and stickers according to the chosen legend.
Geography puzzle
Pictures that need to be put together from different elements delight many children and even adults. You can turn puzzles into an educational and information resource for any age. To do this, on the back of each element there is information relevant to the plot, which is read before installing the part in place. In this way, all information is collected.

You need to cut out the outlines of the continents from an old atlas, stick them on cardboard and use them to create a world.
Homemade board games from other materials
What board games can you make yourself? Yes, any! Of what? Yes, from anything! Here is a list of materials that may be in the house and waiting in the wings:
- felt;
- padding polyester for stuffing felt;
- acorns, nuts, cones;
- threads, scissors, glue;
- buttons;
- caps from plastic bottles and iron jars.
Here's what home-based board game makers, who have already tried many different options, offer.
Tic-tac-toe from buttons, felt, caps
Not everyone can handle wood, but everyone can handle felt. It is good to involve younger family members in this work by giving them scissors and a template.
Any variant of figures is used as crosses and toes: birds and animals, circles of two colors, flowers and fungi, in general, everything that your imagination suggests.
You can cut out figures from felt, sew them and stuff them with padding polyester, or take two types of large, beautiful buttons as playing chips.
PHOTO: best-prezent.ru
They also use a cardboard field, but the chips are made from any available materials.
PHOTO: allwomen.ru
Children can do stitches and it is not difficult to teach them the process.
Fleas
The ancient Slavic game is called “fleas”. If previously they were made from wood or buttons, today you can use other materials.
Interesting! The game helps develop fine motor skills, which is very useful for children.
You need to take beans of two colors, a cardboard box, a couple of coins worth 5 rubles, colored markers and paper, a piece of thick material.
PHOTO: babylessons.ru
First, we paint the field or cover it with circles of colored paper. The inside of a candy box is used for the base.
PHOTO: maam.ru
The markings resemble a football field, but you can experiment.
The edge of the bean is pressed with a coin, the bean jumps merrily, no worse than a real flea. A piece of fabric is needed as a springboard from which the beans can jump well.
You need to reach the bowl with the flea or move someone else's flea with it. You can compete to see whose flea will jump the farthest. With a drawn field, the main task is to get into the enemy’s goal.
The game continues until one of the players runs out of beans, because a flea that lands on the opponent’s field remains there and is no longer used.
Recommendations on how to download and print the board game
If you want to play immediately, then board games can be downloaded for free.
There are several resources that have different options for such fun.
PHOTO: i1.shapescience.ru.net
There are also special resources, a number of games on which are downloaded completely free of charge, in a format convenient for printing. For many products, in addition to the playing field, a number of related elements are required.
