All over the world, in every culture and country, children play games. While these games may vary from place to place, you will recognize them in one form or another. Men from two villages competed against each other, and the losers fell into a stream between the two teams.
Every culture has hand-clapping games and rhymes.
Some games for older children can be quite fast and difficult. Children in some of the earliest civilizations used stone or clay marbles. Later, marbles were often made of real marble or glass, but wood and polished nuts may have been used, too. Then girls began jumping rope, too, and invented many rhythm and singing games. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, maybe because it can be played almost anywhere with very little equipment.
