Activity 1: Outdoor Games/ Hey Fox! What time is it? (The summary of the project)

A child who plays games learn naturally. The child can learn the concept of time like waiting, continuing, starting and finishing in the group games. The child can also develop the concept of place by playing in different places like classroom and school garden. What is more, the child gets qualitative and quantitative  information by using different materials and choosing different colours while s/he is playing games. So, playing games is very important in the development of children.

Activity 1: Outdoor Games/ Grabbing Handkerchief (The summary of the project)

In these days children prefer to play computer games or watch TV instead of playing outside with their friends. It is possible that these children will have both physical and psychological problems in the future. They are mostly introverted and avoid of sharing their feelings. They take the movie stars or the characters in their computer games as a model.  They have become alone in the crowd. As there are fewer secure places to play outside, it is inevitable  for the children to play at home. So, it is recommended that parents should play with their children and should meet the other parents for their children to  become friends. Children can develop good communication skills while they are playing. They learn to deal with the problems that they come across. Also, parents can have a chance to observe  their children while they are playing.
