- What is its name? Tic-tac-toe, noughts and crosses or Xs and Os.
- Is it a traditional or modern game? Traditional game.
- Can you explain the instructions to play? Draw a little grid with two lines crossing another two lines at right angles. Now you have nine squares. Decide who is going to write "X"s and who will write "0"s and you start taking turns. The winner is the person who fills three squares in a row, either across, down or diagonally.

Do you want to play?

Take a piece of paper and start drawing or play online with your partner.

ENJOY!!!

## What are action games?

There are different types of traditional games. Action games are very popular. But do you know any of them?

- If you know, tell your group about one.
- If you don't know, don't worry, we are going to work on some of them.

Each group is going to work on one game.

1- Have a look at these websites and choose the game you prefer (choose one you never played before). When you decide tell your teacher so that all the groups work on a different game.

- List of traditional children's games (Accessed on 12/06/2018).
- 30 classic outdoor games for kids (Accessed on 12/06/2018).
- Classic games for children (Accessed on 12/06/2018).

2 - Summarize the game in a chart in your notebook. You can use a model like this:

Name of the game |
Number of players |
Equipment |
Instructions |

3- Decide how you are going to present it and practise. You can include a demonstration.

4- Present it in front of the class and listen to the other groups´ games.

5- Play all the games with your class!!!

6- In some games you will have to choose someone to be "it" (the person who is going to count, catch...).

Let's learn a very popular rhyme to decide who is "it".

## “Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe” Eeny meeny miny moe. Catch a tiger by the toe. If he squeals let him go. Eeny meeny miny moe.

Now you can practise saying it. Watch the video and pay attention to pronunciation!!

Well done!

The difference is that skipping games involve skipping a rope and hand games involve moving your hands.

The similarity is that both games involve singing a rhyme.
