Examples of games
ČVORAK ( Starling )
Children are moving in a circle and holding hands. In
the middle is a child ( Starling ) that is blindfolded. At
the end all children are standing, and Starling goes
to one child and tries to guess by the touch the name
of the child. If he can not figure out, his educator can
help him with advice.
Example of game 8 - Croatia
Starling is a bird. (R.S.)
I felt curious and I was trying to guess who this friend
was. (A. H.)
In this game it s nice to sing about a bird called
Starling. With blindfold over the eyes we learn to
recognize our friends ( in this game called Starling).
(O.P.)
I feel good and I wasn`t mad that I could not
recognize friend the first time. I recognized him by his
voice. (J.T.)
Example of game 9 - Croatia
Kitty goes around
Children stand in a circle and put their hands behind
their backs.
One child holds a small ball in his hands and walks
around the circle while the children are singing the
Kitty song.
When the children stop singing the song the child that
was walking around them places a ball into a child's
hand and starts to run around the circle. The child that
received the ball has to catch the child that placed the
ball into his hands.
I like this game because I like to run. – Maks 5.5

I love this game and i want to play it all the time
because it`s fun. - Eli 4 years old
The children were very excited to play this game, and
it involved the whole group so they are learning to
cooperate and work as a group while playing. They
wanted to play the game repeatedly.
