The games played by children in the
open and fresh air.
Paper Chase
(Podchody)
•
Paper Chase is a game which is played outdoors, best
in the forest.

There are two groups of players.

One group runs away leaving behind clues in form of
paper shreds, arrows, letters or different puzzles.
•
The second group must catch
the first one.
Bricklayer (Murarz)

Bricklayer is a game that can be played in the playground.

We choose one person (Bricklayer) and chalk a line (10-15 m) along which he can
move.

The children stand in front of the bricklayer and when he gives a sign they run across
the line to the other side.

The bricklayer mustn’t step out of the line. He tries to catch or touch the players. They
are his „bricks” – when caught they sit on the line and he bulids the wall of them.

The winner is the last person whom the bricklayer couldn’t catch.
Blindman’s buff
(Ciuciubabka)
The game is simple. One of the
players is blindfolded. His task is to
catch another person. When he
does it he is a winner.
Tag (Berek)
It is a playground game. Children run
around and one person has to catch
or touch another child. The caught
child becomes a „Tag - Berek”.
Silly Johnnie (Głupi Jaś)
Children stand in a circle. One of them comes
to the middle. He is ”Silly Johnnie”. The rest
throw a ball to each other. Silly Johnnie must
catch the ball. When he does he goes outside
the circle. The person who threw the ball comes
to the middle and is now ”Silly Johnnie”.
Colours
Players stand in a circle. They throw a
ball to one other and say colours: blue,
orange, black, white and many others.
When a player catches the ball on a white
or black he is out of the game.
Baba Yaga (Witch) is watching!
One person (Baba Yaga) stands back to the group and covers her eyes.
She says: „One, two, three Baba Yaga is watching „ and then turns.
When she stands back the children walk to her but when she turns they
must „freeze”. Baba Yaga walks around the group and checks if anyone is
moving. If yes, the child must go to the start line. Baba Yaga turns again
and repeats: „one ,two, three Baba Yaga is watching.” The one who
touches Baba Yaga first is a winner and a new Baba Yaga.
Cold and warm
(Ciepło – zimno)

One player hides a thing somewhere.

Another player must search for it. He is helped
by the hints: „cold” when he is far away,
„warm” when he gets a little closer and finally
„HOT” when he is close to the hidden thing.

After finding the object he hides something and
the game continues.
