Step 2 - Competitive ‘Team’ Games

Two fingers remind us that this is a team game and requires two groups of children.

1. Fish swim. Birds fly. Children play.
2. Games reach a child’s heart.
3. Releases energy in an acceptable way.
4. Cheering and laughter with the leader in control.

Purpose for Games

• Games open the door to relationship with children

Games break down the barrier between ourselves and the children without changing position of authority

Builds relationship without words, teaches children the value of teamwork.

Games open our hearts and their hearts to laughter and fun memories.

Makes a statement that it’s OK to be a child – I accept you just as you are (this causes a child to also accept you where you are and opens the door later for them to receive the teaching you have for them)

The games give children a sense of belonging and social connection.

They create a fun way to get children to interact with other children they would not normally interact with.
