My Favorite Game As A Child

This game is a number computation game and has rules like any other games. It became a very important game to me. In the process of playing this game, I acquired the skill to count in numbers, self- discipline, and self-control. Also interacting with other children assisted me to learn good social relationships, and social norms. (Fletcher et.al., as cited in Berk, 2007).

We grew up in the same road and I fondly remember some of our childhood highlights were playing cowboys and Indians. Everybody's porch down the street fulfilled a different function. Mine was the bank and, tellingly, I now work for Lloyds. And yes, that's right - Frank's porch was the saloon. Another popular game was ‘Hide and Seek’… although Frank was a little bit tubby in those days so all he could play was ‘Seek’.

We play that for about two hours and after gabi nearly breaking the TV by throwing the controller at it. It’s still ridiculously cold in that room, so instead of moving to another room we decide to go outside and start a bonfire. At this point its midnight out, and we can’t get the bonfire started. Mollys mom tells us to pour gasoline on the wood and that will help. We find some gasoline, pour it on the wood, then light a piece of paper on fire and throw it into the bonfire pit. The fires started. So after about an hour, we all decide that were bored and needed something to do besides go to sleep. Molly remembers we still have fireworks from the fourth of july. She goes inside, opens the tea drawer, and pulls out some bottle rockets. She comes outside and tells me and Gabi to go grab some bottles from the recycling. The only thing we can find is beer bottles so we grab those and head back to the backyard. Basically, we start lighting bottle rockets out of beer bottles and they’re really

In elementary, we used to play a lot of activities. Some of the games were tag, hide and seek,

My Dad and Papa lived next door to each other and I remember them throwing firecrackers and shooting bottle rockets over the fence at each other screaming & laughing hysterically. Granted this was back in the good ol’ days when you played outside until it was dark, drank water from the hose & rode your bike all over town. Nowadays my Dad and Papa probably would have the cops called on

Today is independence day we went to town and i played with kids on this game called button button. That is when kids sit in a semicircle with a button in there hand and pass the button to the other person without letting go to the person 3. Some lady gave

Be it Charades, Monopoly, or Scrabble; there is no game they won’t try in over the weekends with their friends.

One of me and my sister’s main game that I remember most clearly is were we would get down on our hands and feet and pretend to be horses, running around barefoot all day. We invented these things called clip clops; with help from our dad, we made horse hooves out of old wooden fencing. We would explore

The way we played the game is one kid stood up with his back against the playgrounds iron fence, and then the next guy would bend down and reach around and grab hold of his waist and tuck his head down to the side. Then the next guy would grab him by the waist and tuck his head down and so on until your whole team is assembled in a row, looking like a human centipede. This was called the “horse”. Now, the other team with

The word games like Telephone and the game where a story is made one word at a time are quick games that can involve large or small size groups. Also these games are simple to understand for children of any age and have little requirements. Thus, every child would be able to participate and impact the stories being created. These types of games also build relationships with others in a fun way so that a child may learn to socialize. Socializing within these easy games may be especially helpful if a few children seem to keep more to themselves or are

and Mrs. Blanker with their four children; Martin; the eldest son, Kokkie and Lia; blond curly haired twin girls, who appeared to be approximately our age and Jenneke; a younger sister. Fortunately the Blanker parents didn't seem to mind that their daughters played with us, even allowed them to cross the street to play on our side. Consequently, even though it took years, the other parents gradually realized that no harm was going to come to their children if they played with us and eventually allowed them to do the same. In due course, my sister and I had a group of “white” friends. We roller-skated together, drew chalk pictures on the sidewalk and fished in the canal with a fishing pole we made from an open safety pin, fastened to the end of a long string, tied to a broom stick. On the grass field behind our house, we pitched tents with two long poles which we pushed into the earth, suspended a clothesline between them and draped a white sheet over the line. During summer days, we played for hours, until from the bedroom window, our mother announced that it was time to eat lunch. We ran upstairs, gobbled down a cheese-and-jam sandwich and guzzled down a glass of chocolate milk, eager to resume playing with our

“Let me help you, ma’am; all you need to do is match the number on your bingo board with the number I call out. Whenever you have a match, just put this little red chip on top of it. And of course, don’t forget to say ‘Bingo!’ when you have a line of five red chips.” After providing this instruction, I smiled at the lady and reflected on my work. As I was teaching that eighty-year-old woman how to play bingo, she, along with many other seniors, was teaching me how to live a fulfilling life.

It originated on a brisk Wednesday evening in Denton,Texas. Spring break was just starting, so I chose to stay with my friend John over the course of the week. Since we had nothing planned in advance, it was our responsibility to make plans. For hours we constructed schematics of games that would scrape by a mildly entertaining. As the day grew longer and uneventful, we finally devised a scheme that we remembered for the rest of our lives.

Not too long after we were settled at the table, a man’s voice came over the intercom, and everyone stopped talking. The man gave the rules and regulations of the games, then he rang a bell and wished everyone good luck. As the man called out letter and number combinations, I filled one of my bingo cards quickly and yelled “BINGO.”

Explain to children what they are going to play today (How to fill out the forms on the desk, how doctor fill out the animal breed chart). Tell them there are 2 roles in this play, which is doctor, nurse and patient. Make sure that they are going to take turns, so they get to play all the roles. Ask children who wants to play a doctor, nurse and
