Whether often now it is possible to hear well-known "thaw-melt fly, play a game of tag!" or "the sea worries time"? An impression is from outside made that modern children already "not those". But if to think, then once and the generation now full age seemed "not to those". There is a normal development of society. A game still remains relevant for children. Only the form as progress dictates the terms changes.
The modern child considerably differs from own parents, such trend is noticeable in everything - clothes, behavior, games, interests. Comparing, than children of the past, the 20th century, with present games in the yards were engaged, it is possible to find some common features as there is a continuity.
Former games
Children of generation 80kh-90kh saw off practically all the time on the street. The majority of games were focused on children of different age, played all yard from 5 to 15 years. Likely, there is no person who will not remember a game: "Cowboys and Indians", "Traffic light", "Hot potato", Sifa, "Bouncers", "Day-night", Hali-Halo and others.
At children slingshots, at girls of "elastic" were more senior. All together played dolls, shop, a lotto, not to mention favourite ball games. Even little girls played soccer. Was great in the summer to make tents, and to fill in an ice slope in the winter. Such games were made domestic children amicable and helped to develop imagination.
What changed?
Now children are not given the chance to think up games as everything is already ready. Ready tents, plastic slingshots, "twister" and a huge variety of disks with computer games for every taste are on sale. Whether children are guilty that progress dictates the terms of a game? It is impossible to tell that all computer games are useless, certainly, there is a number of the developing and informative games, but they will hardly replace real-life communication with peers and fresh air on the street.

Though it is not so frequent as earlier, but nevertheless, many children play soccer, basketball, roller-skate, boards and bicycles, cheerfully discussing new the fashionable mobile phones applications. This their happy childhood. To each generation - the.
On own example
How "to infect" children with healthy passion to street games? Only playing together with them! Leaving on the nature, teach the children to those games which were so popular in your childhood, be not afraid to become the child, having fun with all the heart. Than your interest will be sincere, that stronger your child will fall in love with a new game and will teach the friends. Only this way, handing down the positive experience, we will make the world is more more beautiful and are kinder.
Summer - the best time for games in the yard. Children who are sent to recreation camps, know many games "from the past".
Let our children grow and develop, going in step with the present, but to build new, without remembering old, it does not make any sense.
