After you run out of hiding places in "Hide and Go Seek," and "Ring Around the Rosie" isn't holding anyone's attention anymore, consider trying some more creative solutions. In this first article of the series, we'll explore the wonderful possibility of bringing your favorite childhood board-games to Life. You have two great things going for you. First, you already know the basic premise of the game, and second, adapting it is generally easy and cheap. Here are five basic steps of adapting a board game to real life. 1) Pick the Game You want to choose a game you know well, is fun, and will involve a lot of movement. You're not going for complexity here; in fact, the simpler the better. Remember, competition is key-choose a game that will get the kids excited to win. 2) Adapt the Rules Figure out how you're going to make the game life-sized. If the game has pieces that move around a board, for instance, you might put out sheets of construction paper to make a path for the players. Or, if the game has players who can get each other out, you might have the kids use soft balls or crumpled up pieces of paper to throw at each other. Make sure you incorporate a clear goal, competition, and some amount of strategy or skill. Again, keep it simple. 3) Prepare the Supplies Gather cheap materials lying around the house-dice, balls, etc. If you're making a game-board, you might want to consider construction paper for squares, and masking-tape or rope to mark off different areas. If your game needs random things to happen, write down events on notecards, such as "Lose a turn". Set up the entire game in advance so you won't be running around at the last minute. 4) Teach the Game Go over all the rules, and show the kids how it will be played. Make sure to ask for questions; the kids might point out something you overlooked, and you can make a last-minute decision. 5) Play It Start

Henrik Ibsen challenges the ideals of the bourgeoisie lifestyle and gives the reader a different perspective through the play A Doll’s House.

Children have a natural inclination to play, alongside a natural instinct to learn and to be curious and inventive, which are characteristics of the human race in general. This quote taken from Janet Moyles is a good starting point for this essay. It is well known that children love to play. If a child were to be left to his/her own devices they would happily play and create new worlds anywhere they were left. It has been well documented and researched that children learn excellently through play. However they are not always given the opportunity to do so, instead being told to, ‘finish your work and then you can go play’. Obviously this is not always the case, but the fact that it is a common practice shows that we do not all fully appreciate the importance of play to children’s learning. This essay will attempt to show how children learn through play, making reference to current theory and practice. I will also give examples from my own first-hand experience of how children learn and develop as people through play.

Without trophies, can children still be winners? Yes! In the world of sports, being declared the winner has always been the number one goal, although there are secondary achievements in play. Parents don’t want to see their children suffer; as a result, a rule that every child should receive a trophy has become as expected as a game sheet. However, overuse of trophies discourages the hard work that goes into winning. Children are meant to have fun with sports; even so, games are a lesson in life of winning and losing. To learn to lose gracefully and not give up is just as important as winning.
