   My gosh, this is indeed a neat thing to do–provide lessons for young children, a guide for parents or grandparents to teach their kids bridge.

   I blogged about just this topic last spring when someone in the audience I spoke to about my book about sociable bridge, told how her mother taught all the kids bridge before the got into school, and later taught her grandchildren.

   I had no idea there were teaching materials available for parents.

      Thanks Lurpo for the praise on my bridge teaching prowess, however it was purely a fine work of fiction. The author did ask my permission to use me in his charming article at Bridge Winners

   What I find. I am so glad I found you. I looked at a couple of other sites and they just didn’t inspire me to learn how and maybe teach bridge. My doctor has recommended that I take it up to help with my depression and other reasons. So here I go. Thank you so much

   I’m trying to find the posters. I saw the posters under ‘For Bridge Teachers’ and the fine print underneath said ‘available in Downloads.’ But, when I went to the Downloads tab I was unable to find the posters. We have recently begun teaching Middle School bridge and I was hoping to take the posters as visual aids. But I can’t figure a way to find/print the posters. We are using your material http://web2.acbl.org/documentlibrary/teachers/SBLSTeacherManual.pdf

   Thanks so much for making your material available. Invaluable.
   Bob

   Hi Bob – somehow the new version of wordpress has lost my downloads module. While I work to restore it, this old URL (found via googling) still works:

   Where might I find the answers to the exercises, particularly slam bidding? Many thanks

   Love to get free teaching materials for my class of seniors. Thank you.

   Found the below on your Downloads page. Any chance that these downloads are available somewhere?

   For Bridge Players

   Hands to Bid

   Either 120 or 64 hands to bid in two files, one for each of North and South in RTF format (suitable for printing or any word processor). The original BHG output from Borel is included. Zip files.

   No downloads found.

   Thanks for pointing out that those hands to bid are no longer there. I just upoaded some. You may need to hold the control key and click refresh at the same time to see them on this page

   All my materials are here except for the manual to teach children which is at the ACBL and can be downloaded for free from them. Go to my for teachers page. The same technique, playing hands and using minibridge before teaching bidding works well for seniors too.
