[EF#15] Let's Playing Games

Playing games for kids always full of happiness, appeal, tired and sometimes become stressful. Eventhough it makes everybody will always like playing. Childrens live's more colorfully and of course it's make their life hapier evenmore.

Long time ago, when I was a little girl, I also liked playing around with all of my friends. We never felt bored even we played everyday. After school or in the holiday all day long full of games, playing on the yard and so on. That makes us sweaty and full of dust, but it was so interesting. Yup, at that time video game more over online games was rare or may be not available yet. I am not sure about this, but in the middle of 90th, me and the childrens around me (I mean childrens in my village) still played traditional games. Like hide and seek, gobag sodor, hopscotch traditional game etc.

It's different by now, which is the fastest of Information Technology changing theme of playing of childrens. No much more childrens who playing traditional games like what their parents did when they was a kid. Now, technology advances make the taste of games and playing is changing also. Like what I have said before, video game, online game, and another games which served by smart phone or smart gadget will accompany them, and make them feel comfort with what they do even they do it by their self, alone.

Yup, childrens still playing whenever their live, in what era they spent their chilhood. So, the same thing is, childrens still like playing same with what I felt long long time ago (absolutely until now). Playing still make childrens relax. Playing take a special moment in childhood no matter what kind of playing they do. Playing make children out of their routines activities, which sometimes make them feel bored. Yeah, playing never feel boring even we do it everyday. And playing still full of competitions, isn't it?

The differences is there rarely outdoor games, no more full of body motions, no sweaty body, no dusty and not much communications between the players. How it becomes? Eventhough we still can find some childrens playing traditional games in the yard, but it is not as much as like what I was a kid. Muchmore it almost happen in the suburbs, not in the middle of crowded and busy town. May be it is because so difficult to find large yard in the town. One thing that make me feel very lucky is I become the part of this calm, friendly and of course hommy rural area. Yes, I am very glad to stay in the middle of village.

I always hope, traditional games especially Indonesian traditional games never forget by our childrens. Because there are so much positive thing that we can take from that games. Where ever we live, from what family we have come, how much money we have which can buy the super smart gadget, it will never relieve some kind of happines which come along with playing around and exposure to sunlight.

Now, just because I am not kid anymore I need some kind of play which make me relax. The challenges from BEC becomes my new games. So some of you who want to play a games you can try to joint this community and feel their great challenges.
