Graded Games for Schools and Community Recreation
The Indoor Recreation Work is given in the form of plays and games.
While the plays and games listed have been carefully arranged and
graded with a view to adapting them to the schoolroom, many of them are
suited to playground, hall and gymnasium use.
It is suggested that at least one game period a day be given out of
doors during the pleasant weather.
Rules to Be Observed in Giving Games
1. Teacher should be familiar with the game before giving it.
2. Teach by imitation in the story-plays and rhythm, as best
results come from the teacher playing with the children.
3. Be sure that the air is fresh when giving a game.
4. In every rest period give a breathing exercise.
5. See that all the children have a part in the game.
6. Upon the spirit which the teacher puts into it, depends the
success of the game.
Story Plays are imitations of well-known activities. They may be
experiences related to home activities, the surroundings near the home,
the season and to school work.
Capitalize the child's imagination and experience as a basis for
developing Story Plays, keeping in mind the types of exercise necessary
to give the children the proper amount of exercise.
The following is illustrative of the forms of exercise to be found in a
story play:
