1.  What are childhood games?

The games which we played when we were children are called childhood games.  The games of childhood are amazing and very interesting.

2. Normal childhood games

You must have played some of the games. Some normal childhood games are Tag, Colour-Colour, hide and seek, ice and water, Simon Says, Rock Paper Scissors, The Floor is Lava, Musical Chairs, Truth or Dare, Egg and Spoon Race, Dress-Up Race and Twister.

• Tag

It is a simple game. You must have played this game or not. There are two Tags. The tags need to catch the people. People who are caught will be the next tag and it will move on like this.

• Colour-Colour

It is a simple game.  In this game, one person is a seeker. And other players will say, “Colour colour which colour?” And the seeker will say a colour’s name like red and other players need to touch the things with the said colour and whoever didn't touch the colour that the seeker had uttered will be another seeker in another game.

• Hide and seek

You must have played this game. It is very interesting. There must be more than 3 players. There will be one seeker and others are hidden. The hiders will hide and the seeker needs to find the hidden. If the seeker finds all the hider. Then the seeker is the winner.

• Ice and water

Ice-and-water is a simple game. There should be more than 2 players. There will be ice and other water. The ice needs to catch the water. If the ice caught all the water, then the ice is the winner.

• Simon Says

It is another interesting game. There should be more than two players. One will wear a hat and that person is Simon. If Simon says, “Simon Says” in the beginning of the sentence, you should do whatever it says. And if Simon doesn't say, “Simon says” in the beginning of the sentence, you should do the opposite.

• Rock Paper Scissors

Rock Paper Scissors is a hand-game in which there should be the gestures of rock, scissors, or paper only, no more than that. There should be two players only.

• The floor is Lava

The floor is Lava is a funny and interesting game. One person says the floor is lava in 3,2,1 and they should not touch the floor until they say it’s over.

• Musical chair

In this game, we can play with more than nine players. The chairs are put in a circle. When the music starts, you need to walk in a circle in front of chairs. When music stops, you need to sit on a chair. One person will be left standing and that person is out. One more chair will be taken out and again one person will be left alone standing and again he/she will be out.

3. Types of childhood games

There are three types of games. They are Board games, Party games and Paper and Pencil games.

Board games

The games we play on a board are called board games. Snake and ladder, chess, ludo, Guess-who and checkers are some of the games.

• Snake and ladder

It is a family game. We can play with four players only. There will be four different coloured pieces on a board. If the player blue's six comes when rolling the dice, the player's piece will be starting its journey. And then the game begins.

• Chess

Chess is a game of two players. In this game, you need to protect your king and kill other opponents and you will win the game.

• Ludo

Ludo is also a family game. There are four colours: blue, red, yellow and green. If pot (one) comes while rolling the dice, they will come out. And then the game starts.

• Guess who

Guess who is a game of two players where you need to pick a personal picture. The other opponent says “Something Bald” and you need to say yes or no. If the other opponent guesses, the person will win. Then it will be your turn to guess the person.

• Checkers

This game is similar to chess. But that is all and you also need to protect your king and kill the king of another opponent.

Paper and pencil games

The games which can be played on paper and with pencil are called paper and pencil games. Tic-Tac-Toe and dots-and-boxes are some of the games.

•Tic-Tac-Toe

It is a simple game. It is also a very interesting game. One opponent will cross and another will circle. We need to match three circles or cross.

Whoever makes three circles or crosses will win.

• Dots and boxes

This is a two-player game. We need to make as many boxes as possible. Whoever makes the most boxes will win.
