The Playground Games That Children Like

By Enid Hinton


Playground activities are one of the many effective ways to be able to teach kids how to survive in life. Now if one is a teacher of preschool or kindergarten, he should make sure that the playground games that he would plan for the kids are good and also are related to lessons in life. Here are a few good ones that are both fun and educational at the same time.

Now one game that is a big hit among any student that can run whether male or female would of course be tag. Now everyone is probably familiar with tag as the game wherein the it would chase other players to make them it. This is one of the games that would really make a kid tired and would also teach him about how to cooperate too.

A classic game would be tug of war and it is actually quite a simple game that would teach a lot of principles in life. Basically, the class would be split into two teams and each team has to pull the rope to their side in order to beat the other team. This would teach the kids that no matter how strong one is, nothing can beat a team working together.

Another popular game that can be played on the playground is of course monkey in the middle. This is a game wherein one person is in between two teams who are going try to hit him with a ball. Once one person hits him, he will then become the monkey in the middle and the one in the middle has to just avoid getting hit by the ball.

A game that requires quite a huge number of people and a lot of energy would capture the flag. Basically, this teacher would split the class into two teams and each team has their own flag that the other team has to get without getting tag by any of the opposing team members. If one gets tagged by an opposing team member, then that person will be sent to a jail.

A rather chilled out game is known as croquet which is quite a popular one among the children. It involves two or more players trying to hit colored balls through certain hoops using a mallet. Of course this will teach the children how to think strategically and know how to solve certain problems.

Now dodgeball is yet another great game but it is probably better for the older children who are more sporty. Dodgeball teaches quick thinking, teamwork, and encourages one to boost up his reflexes. Basically, the rules of the game is for a team to grab as many balls as possible and to hit the players of the opposing team with these balls until they are all out.

Now if one would want to plan some great activities for children, these games are really good. However, a teacher should never forget that the students must also learn the purpose of playing these games. It is important that the teacher would tell them what values are learned while playing.
