General information about games - part II
Many games are group games. They are not about the superiority of individuals, but about the common good. In them, private players have to strive for a common goal. This fact has great educational significance, especially at the age when girls and boys are self-centered.
Different things and skills can be taught in games. In this way, teaching takes on a pleasant and interesting form. These games include, for example, scout skill games and various games played on trips, etc.
Many games, especially off-road games, often require courage and determination. In them, players also learn to act independently.
These are just some of the facts that speak in favor of games as an educational factor. In order for the games to fulfill their purpose, you have to know how to organize them correctly. It would be appropriate to highlight a few of the most important points when organizing games.
Every play must have a leader. He must already be clear about what he is going to play in advance. He must know exactly the rules of the game and be able to explain them comprehensibly to all the participants of the game. The responsibility also includes the fact that the necessary equipment must also be acquired in advance.
Once the game starts, the leader must follow it carefully and make sure that everyone follows the rules and instructions without compromise. When disagreements arise, he should be fair and firm.
Everyone who participates in the game really has to act. It is also necessary to make sure that everyone is involved in the game, if it only works out for the sake of the game. The manager must ensure that all participants follow the rules of "fair play"; no deceit, no anger, and no mockery of the opponent must be allowed. The winner must always be recognized, but at the same time it must be remembered that even the losing party has humanity.
When planning games, care is taken to ensure that the same and similar games are not played too often, even if they are fun. It is easier to maintain variety by keeping a play diary. It can be marked with, for example, the time of the game being played, or the number if the game has one, the quality, the winner and other notes of which, for example, "everyone knew how to tie their shoelaces" or "everyone knew how to fasten all their shirt buttons".
Few games can be played without equipment. A child often has a large number of different toys at home, which are needed even for grown-up games. Some examples are: chalks, spools of thread, pencils, pieces of cardboard (10 cm*10 cm), flower jars, bottles, wooden balls, balls, ropes, knot string (length about 1.5 meters), newspapers, needles, strips of paper, crepe paper, pennants, etc.
