There are also a variety of games such as quiet games, active games, treasure hunts, team games, balloon games and a selection of others.The games include both competitive and non competitive games. Most people today recommend that the majority of games are non competitive so that children do not become disappointed or upset. Team games can encourage children to work together and support each other if a child is challenged and not coping with the activity. Although a winner might be declared it is usually a good idea to have a small prize for everyone. Awarding points for games is one way of avoiding constantly giving out small presents.
