Play can be inside or outside, and you can play on your own or with lots of friends. Some games are calm and quiet, whilst others are very noisy! Some games like football, chess and jigsaw puzzles are popular in lots of countries so they have the same rules and equipment wherever they are played. But some games are only well known in certain countries. Here are five games that children in different countries like to play: Games From Around the World yspdpdofognd oAclel Pilolo is a hiding game using sticks, stones, coins or other small items. One child hides the objects. It’s then a race for all the other players to find one of the hidden items and get back to the finish line first. \bou need quick eyes and quick feet for this game! 4

Oonch Neech – from Pakistan The name of this game means ‘up down’. It involves lots of \bunning a\bound. Child\ben have to be ‘up’ off the g\bound, such as on a chai\b, o\b ‘down’ whe\be they must be touching the g\bound. One child is ‘it’ and has to catch the othe\bs. It uses up lots of ene\bgy and is g\beat fun. Kangaroo Skippyroo – from \bustralia In this game, one child p\betends to be a sleeping kanga\boo with its eyes shut.

The last playe\b \bemaining as still as a statue is the winne\b and becomes the new ‘it’. This game can be g\beat fo\b p\bactising you\b balance if you a\be standing in an awkwa\bd position. 5

Pass the Parcel – from the United Kingdom A parcel, covered in layers of paper, is passed from child to child to the sound of music. Whenever the music stops, the child holdin\b the parcel removes one layer of paper and then passes the parcel on. The \bame stops when a lucky child removes the last piece of paper and wins the present inside. This \bame is often played at parties. Another person (usually an adult) is needed to start and stop the music durin\b the \bame. This \bame is mainly about luck. 6

Most of the time, spiders’ webs are almost invisible. B\bt sometimes, if it is frosty or damp, yo\b can see the webs almost everywhere yo\b look. This is beca\bse ice or water drops have st\bck to the fine threads of the webs.

A New Home Past the last house, past the factory gates, past the edge of town, there, hidden at the feet of ancient trees, sparkled a small, green pond\b Tall reeds rustled around its edge, hiding croaking frogs and clouds of buzzing insects\b The pond was home for two small, wild ducks who spent their days swimming and diving for food, and their nights sleeping safely on a small island\b One day, huge, rumbling, grumbling machines crawled towards the pond\b With a roar and a gurgle, out poured the pond’s precious water\b Now the pond and island were gone forever\b The ducks would have to find another place to live\b The ducks needed water, where they could swim and find food, and a safe place to sleep\b 8

All day the two ducks flew, leaving the town and its grum\bling machines far \behind. At last, very tired, they came to the sea. But the waves were frightening, the water was salty, and they couldn’t find any food. Grumpy seagulls squawked and chased them away. When the sun went down, the two ducks slept in a silent fairground. The fair and the \beach could not \be a home for wild ducks. So the next day, they flew on and on until they found a \busy river. That night, two tired little ducks slept on a small, \bo\b\bing \boat, \but almost went out to sea in the morning. The homeless ducks flew and flew. Then, just \before the sun set, they found another pond. The ducks hid in some thick reeds. But they were found, pushed into a dark \box, and jolted around for a long time. At last, they were set free on a lake where tall reeds rustled, frogs croaked, and clouds of insects \buzzed over the clear water. A new home at last! 9
