1 – Hopscotch
Hopscotch, without a doubt, is the best known old game of any generation. It originates from the Portuguese and became popular in Brazil quickly. To play is very simple: with a chalk, draw the hopscotch houses on the ground. Number from 1 to 10, and at the end, draw a larger circle and write the name 'Sun'. Find a rock and start jumping.
2 – Arts with paints and clay
One of the games that children enjoy the most is coloring and creating. Therefore, bet on non-toxic paints and clay to make the little ones happy. For paintings, sheets of paper or canvas can be used. How about proposing to set up an exhibition with the drawings made by the children? Another interesting tip is to use the pasta. Why not create sculptures with them?
3 – hula hoop
Hula hoop is another very old game that can be played by children of all ages. The idea is to rotate the hoop around the waist and not let it fall. However, those who want to make the game more fun or difficult, also do this on the neck, arms and legs.
4 – Soap bubbles
This is a fun game and very simple to do. Use a straw or improvise with a piece of wire. To make the liquid, use liquid soap, shampoo or neutral detergent and mix with water. The game is to try to make as many balls or as big as you can.
5 – Tug of war
How about a contest between boys and girls? Or between brothers and cousins? For this, each team must stand on one side of the rope and hold it. The joke should last two minutes, and whoever lets go before or manages to pull the rope further to their team's side, wins.
6 – Dominoes
Dominoes can be easily found in toy stores and are excellent distractions for children. In addition to the traditional pieces, white with black dots, there are also colored models or models with hollow geometric shapes, indicated to stimulate children with some visual impairment.
7 – Tic-tac-toe game
The game of tic-tac-toe consists of marking the boxes with 'X' and 'O' and see who closes the three items in a row first. This may even seem like a simple game, but it requires strategy, because if you score the wrong way, you can give the point to the opponent.
8 – Pass ring
Very simple and fun, the game of passing the ring consists of one person placing the ring between the two palms of the hand, and, with closed hands, passing it between the hands of the classmates. Carefully, the ring is dropped into the hands of one of the friends and the classmates have to find out who has the object.
9 – Jump rope
Jumping rope, besides being a very fun game, is an excellent way to perform physical activity. It's great for playing with friends, as while two hold the spikes and swing, the others can jump in and out without tripping.
10 – Follow the master
Choose one person to make moves while the others try to copy them. The faster you make the move, the harder it will be to imitate.
