Questions
- Do the rules differ from place to place?
- Yes. Many of these games have local variations. Agree on the rules before you start.
- Is every game safe for every age?
- No. Pick games that suit the age, the space and the ground, and have an adult supervise rougher games such as dodgeball or tug of war.
