Games Around the World


One of the activites that I remember a lot from the previous semester is Games Around the World. For this activity, the class was separated into groups. Each group had to then choose a country and research games that are popular in the culture of that country. The groups then had to explain their game to the rest of the class and we even got to play some of them. There were some games that were played outside and others were played inside. Here are pictures of some outside games.

Not only did we have fun playing all of these games, but we also learned a lot. Every group in our class had a different country and culture. We came to find out that although the names of the games are different, the games themselves were very similar. There were various versions of tag, for example. This comes to prove that although we might be different, there are always things that bring us together and makes us alike. The weakness of one person is the strength of another. We need to all share our strengths and abilities. This is something that we are able to transmit to our students.
