Answer:
Sample answers: The following games are played in groups by children:
Hide and seek: This is an outdoor game. In this game, there are two persons. One person (the seeker) closes her/his eyes and counts while others hide. No material is required in this game.
Rope jumping: This is an outdoor game. This game is played individually or in groups. In this game, the child jumps over a rope swung underfoot and overhead.
Hopscotch: This is an outdoor game. In this game, a numbered grid on the ground, usually with squares numbered are made with a chalk. Each player takes turns throwing a marker (like a stone or coin) into the first square. Players hop through the squares, skipping the one with the marker. They can hop on one foot or both, depending on the square layout. Upon reaching the end, players turn around and hop back, picking up their marker on the way. Players continue tossing the marker into the next higher numbered square and repeating the process. They lose their turn if they step on a line, throw the marker outside the designated square, or lose their balance.
The first player to successfully complete all squares wins the game.
Cricket: This is an outdoor game. This game is played between two teams of eleven players. A ball, two bats, wickets, gloves, helmet and leg guards are required. The game is played in a big field with a rectangular pitch in the center, where a batsman tries to score runs by hitting a ball bowled by the opposing team’s bowler with a bat.
Football: This is an outdoor game. In this game, two teams of 11 players, using any part of their bodies except their hands and arms, try to kick the ball into the opposing team’s goal. Only the goalkeeper is permitted to handle the ball and may do so only within the penalty area surrounding the goal. The team that scores more goals wins.
Ludo: This is an indoor game. In this game, there are two to four players, where each player races their four tokens from start to finish based on dice rolls. Every player moves tokens around a cross-shaped board, with the goal of being the first to get all tokens to the home.
Chess: This is an indoor game. It is a two- player strategy board game played on a checkered board with 64 squares. Each player starts with 16 pieces: a king, a queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. The goal is to checkmate the opponent’s king, meaning it’s under attack and has no way to escape capture. Chess is a game of skill, logic, and strategic thinking.
