Most people remember some of the games they played as kids. From early Patty-Cake to Duck Duck Goose to Capture the Flag, we took pleasure in moving our hands and bodies, chanting rhymes, raising shouts and squeals, and repeating it all again and again. In games involving competition, we learned to put out our best effort, cheer for "our side," and in some games the flexibility to switch sides or take former "other" team members in. People who become mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents, get to revisit beloved games and pass them to another generation. Yet even adult work teams can let down and play, teaching each other their versions of their long-lost favorites.
Note: we are defining "games" loosely here, including songs with hand motions, simple games for toddlers, and active, more complicated activiies played by older children.
