Alright, I will tell you about a very simple but extremely famous game played in kindergartens all around the world. The game is called "Duck, duck, goose" and I remember playing in pre-school and possibly in primary school too.
As a child, my parents sent me to an English school where some Chinese teachers taught us in English. We would play games and join in a few activities while speaking English and learning new words. It was very easy but we learned the basics before going to primary school. Whenever the weather allowed it, we would go outside to play different games in English.
My favorite was called "Duck, duck, goose." A group of children sit in a circle facing inward. One child is "it" and walks around the circle. As the child walks around the circle, he taps every child's head and says whether they are a "duck" or a "goose." Once someone is called a "goose", he or she must get up and try to chase the child who tapped his head. The goal of the goose is to tag the child before he or she is able to sit down in the goose's spot. If the goose is not able to do this, he or she becomes "it" and starts tapping heads again. If the goose manages to tag the child who hit him on the head, then "it" has to sit in the middle of the circle and cannot leave until someone else is tagged.
These games were a lot of fun because children like to run and laugh. I remember that our teachers used to play with us and chase us like crazy around the circle.
Kindergarten is a time to learn how to coexist with others and this game definitely brings kids closer together because they have to touch and catch each other. In addition, it is essential to teach children to react fast. As soon as the child taps your head and calls you "goose", it is important to realize and get up as quickly as possible. I think it is a creative and fun game even if it seems a bit naive when I describe it.
