Native Americans loved playing all sorts of games. Some were very strenuous, such as archery, horse racing, football, and lacrosse. But they also had games of chance that were not so strenuous, but still a great deal of fun to play. We've included a sampling of both types of games for you to try with your groups of children.
When people come together for the first time, there's usually a period of uneasiness or apprehension. Therefore it's important that activities be planned for the first group meeting. These activities should be geared to help them get acquainted and comfortable. Mixer materials, name games, and other "icebreakers," such as the following can be adapted to groups of any size.
Games can be used to create fun and enjoyment for children in group situations. Games can help build an atmosphere of relaxed togetherness when children are experiencing new and challenging adventures, whether it's a new camping trip or introduction to a new group such as Y-Guides/Princesses, Girl Scouts, or Cub Scouts. We provide you with tips to help make your games a good experience for everyone.
