The Playground Games That Children Love To Play

By Enid Hinton


Children often learn a lot of life lessons while they are playing with other children during play time. Of course it is the job of the teacher to ensure that the students know how to play the playground games that were planned for them and to explain to them why the games were played. Here are a few of the most popular activities that kids just love.

Probably the most common of all the activities that a teacher to facilitate would of course be the famous tag. Tag is the game wherein there is one it who will try to tag another person so that the other person will become the it. This is a great game to tire out the students because it involves a lot of running and it also teaches them cooperation.

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.

Of course there is also the game that is known as monkey in the middle. Now in this game, there are two groups of people in opposing sides and there is a person between them. The objective is to hit the person in the middle and the one in the middle has to avoid getting hit by the ball otherwise he will be out.

Now another game that needs quite a big number of players would be the game get the flag. Now in this game, the class would first be divided into two big teams that would each have their own respective flags. Now the whole objective of the game is for one to try to grab the flag of the opposing team and not get touched by any of them otherwise he will go to jail.

Now croquet is one fun game that does not require much running and is good for the less sporty children. Basically, two or probably more players have to hit balls of different colors into some hoops with a croquet stick. This is a game that can actually teach tactical ability.

Now dodgeball is another very fun game but it is more for the older kids because it can get a little rough. Now just for those who do not know, the objective of this game is for one team to hit the members of the opposing team in order to take out the members. Basically, the balls will be placed in the middle of the two teams and the teams have to collect the balls used for playing.

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.
