Option A: School-age children acquire adult-like interests, abilities, and hobbies and may display a passion by becoming a collector. Girls still love doing crafts and writing in diaries, and boys find a computer and video games irresistible.

Option B: School-age is the age when kids often become huge fans of computer games, but they also enjoy having their friends over to play sports, card games, and board games.

Option C: Checkers is appropriate for school-age children and they require a good amount of concentration that a 15th-month-old is not yet ready to have.
