Our childhood would not have been complete without the games we played in our childhood. It was the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle of our moral development. In my perspective, childhood games are those outdoor games in which children laugh and play without being confined to specific rules as rules were made on the spot. The games such as hide and seek, duck, goose, bulldogs, etc. were the games that we used to play no matter what. Skipping launch was the best thing we did to play more.
It is true when people say education shapes children’s life but childhood games provide the finishing touch to their lives. To be honest, it was from the childhood games I learnt the meaning of team, sportsmanship, importance of physical exercises and overall the meaning of friendship. When the clock would strike 3, my heart would pump with excitement and I would rush towards the empty space carefree and full of energy to play such games.
The best thing was, when I was little, I would play with a lot of toys and make games out of them. I would have friends come over and over again. Wea made games that everyone liked to play so we always were doing something. We made our imaginations come to life everytime we would play something.
I made a game that made us interactive just with little toys and we would all have fun. We would sometimes take a break from little toys and just watch TV. We had the best thing a child could have. All of us had imagination to use all the time so we knew what we were going to do.
The toys that we played with felt like plastic most of the time sometimes squishy toys. We could smell people cooking when we were outside. I always had the best time outside. I think everyone had a good time when we went outside and even just stayed inside. We were the best of friends using the best toys and making the best games.
We all made the imagination more by explaining what was around us like the smell and the feel. The grass would be pokey. We all played a lot of different games involving feeling and smelling and seeing. We would see a lot of different types of clouds and make shapes out of them.
Childrens now have changed. They are not playing such games anymore. They are submerged in mobile phones so much that they will forget what outdoor is. The games which helped us to prosper in our life are slowly fading away. It is the duty of us to protect such games.
