Playground Games

Here is the description of a couple of games which I remember from my childhood. The games are very simple, easy to prepare and learn and lots of fun. Of course, in the present time it seems that all the outdoor social games are replaced by either computer or the cable TV. But maybe it is a good idea from time to time to encourage the kids to play outdoors as we did it when we did not have any idea about personal computers - in late 60-es and early 70-es.

The Old Bear: Children's Game for Christmas

Many people in their e-mails ask me about any traditional games or pastimes for children, especially during the Christmas season.
The whole selection of the pastimes and children games is included in a revised edition of the wonderful book about Polish Customs and traditions written by Sophie Hodorowicz Knab's entitled Polish Customs, Tradition and Folklore. But this book does not specify any particular game especially for the Christmas season.
