It is suggested that at least one game period a day be given out of doors during the pleasant weather.
Rules to Be Observed in Giving Games
1. Teacher should be familiar with the game before giving it.
2. Teach by imitation in the story-plays and rhythm, as best results come from the teacher playing with the children.
3. Be sure that the air is fresh when giving a game.
4. In every rest period give a breathing exercise.
5. See that all the children have a part in the game.
6. Upon the spirit which the teacher puts into it, depends the success of the game.
Story Plays are imitations of well-known activities. They may be experiences related to home activities, the surroundings near the home, the season and to school work.
Capitalize the child's imagination and experience as a basis for developing Story Plays, keeping in mind the types of exercise necessary to give the children the proper amount of exercise.
