Universally played childhood games
The language of children is universal. This is why many childhood games of unknown origins became popular all over the world independent of culture, nationality or language. Even though nowadays more and more kids would rather play a game on the computer, tablet or mobile phone, there are still many old-school games that survived the digital revolution. These games bring children together, let them spend time outdoors and make them physically exercise in a fun way.
No matter where you live, the games below are guaranteed to bring you back childhood memories.
1. Tag
Many complex childhood games are based on tagging, but the original tag game is as simple as this: one of the children is designated to be “it”. The others get a heads start at running and then the “it” child chases them until he touches one. The caught player will become the new “it”.
In Mexico, this game is called “la traes” and in Spain is better known as “pilla pilla” or “tú la llevas”. Argentineans call it “la mancha” and Peruvians “las chapadas”. » Read more: Most Popular Childhood Games Around the World
