What is Game?

  • A game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for entertainment or fun, and sometimes used as an educational tool.

​

  • Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements. However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports or games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games).

What is Traditional Games?

It is an activity that has characteristics such as satire, intelligence, mobility which are found in the folk culture and played collectively in the times when the feature is limited and the possibility of entertainment is limited.

​

​

Traditional children's games stimulate their growth, physically as well as intellectually. They will also help them to make friends,

​

The main attraction of classic children's games is that generally, you will not need any equipment. Most of them do not require anything more than imagination and a willingness to have a good time.
