Local Games

Local games refer to traditional or culturally rooted recreational activities that are often passed down through generations within a specific community or region. These games are typically simple, requiring minimal equipment, and are designed to promote physical activity, social interaction, and sometimes impart cultural values.

Examples Of Local Games

Do as I Do: In this game, one person performs a series of actions, and the others mimic those actions.
Clap Over Your Head: Participants clap their hands over their heads following a rhythm or a specific pattern.
Who is in the Garden: A guessing game where one child hides behind others, and the rest have to guess who is hiding.
Elastics (Skipping Game): Children take turns jumping over an elastic band stretched between two participants.

Musical Chairs: Chairs are arranged in a circle, and children walk around them while music plays. When the music stops, they have to find a chair to sit in.
