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.

Of course another classic playground game would be none other than tug of war. In tug of war, the class is divided into two teams and both teams have to compete with each other by pulling a rope to their respective sides. Now this is a game that will teach children that no man is an island and teamwork is very important.

Now yet another fun and tiring game would be piggy in the middle or monkey in the middle. Now there are two teams on the right and left side of the field that are trying to hit a guy in the middle. The guy in the middle is supposed to avoid being hit by a ball that the two teams would be throwing at him 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.

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 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.

So basically, those are some of the fun games that children can play during play time. Now a teacher should always make sure that after that he would tell the students the purpose of playing the game right after. This will help them know some life lessons and also be able to apply them as well.
