Often a child is alone, yet he wants to play games. The word “game” seems to imply that more than one player will be needed, but this is not necessarily true. What are some outdoor games a boy or girl can play alone?
Of course, there are solitary activities, such as playing in a sandbox or gliding on a swing. How about games? Yes, there are many games he can create or play that relate to outdoor activities. Such as holding a sand castle competition – building several sand castles and then judging them.
Are there any competitive games? Yes, there are. In these games the child simply competes against himself, a norm, time or some such opponent, rather than competing against another player.
