Hobbies And Interests
Tag
Tag is one of the most common games among children worldwide, though it may vary by country. In America, traditionally one person is "it" and must touch another person to transfer the title of "it" to him. Those who are not "it" must run from the "it" person to avoid being tagged. Tag requires at least five to six kids, though the more the merrier. For international version of tag, kids can incorporate a ball with which to tag their friends.
Hide and Seek
Hide and seek is another game children play around the world. In Saudi Arabia, the game is called "The Hunter," and in Germany it's "Sardines." Americans play the game by designating someone who will hide in a location of their choosing while the other players look for her. To play, everyone except the hider in the group must count to 20 while the person hiding finds a hiding place. Whoever finds the hider will have the opportunity to hide next.
Duck, Duck, Goose
Duck, duck, goose requires players to sit in a circle with one person labeled as "it." The person who is "it" must walk around the circle tapping each person on the head saying "duck" as they tap. He can tap as many people with "duck" as he'd like. Finally, the person who is "it" must tap someone with the label "goose" unexpectedly. At this point, the "goose" must get up and attempt to touch the "it" person before he can run to the goose's original position in the circle.
Truth or Dare
Truth or dare is a game that kids of all ages can play, modifying it as they get older. To play, choose a player and ask her, "truth or dare?" That person can choose to answer a question honestly or complete a dare of the group's choosing. Questions can range from "Have you ever cheated on a test?" to "What's your greatest fear?" Dares can be things like eating a concoction of peanut butter, orange juice and hot sauce, for example. You can also dare a player to go outside in a bathing suit for 30 seconds in the cold.
