Lesson Three is designed to teach Mini Bridge, with additional lessons to teach Bridge. It is highly recommended that the teacher have volunteers to help with this lesson, and to insure complete groups of four Bridge players. It is not necessary for the volunteers to be proficient in Bridge, but of course that would be most helpful.
