Children's games (role play)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Children's games that involve role play generally have no rules except to stay in character, and require no specific props. They are normally restricted to young, pre-pubescent children, and aside from their straightforward purpose of fun can sometimes also serve the purpose of allowing children to explore adult roles and relationships.
- Cowboys & indians: remains popular around the world, even though the films, television series, and books that might have been thought to give rise to it have largely fallen from prominence.
- Doctor (Doctor & patient; Doctors & nurses): the main aim is discovering each other's bodies, and it can even involve experiments with sexual play. See doctor (children's game).
- Mothers & fathers: very similar to Doctor.
- House: the main aim is to explore familial relationships. Children can act like a family and also explore other family arrangements with each other.
- Shopkeeper and customer
- Sbrugnera Snatcher: is similar to Shopkeeper and customer however, is a bit more complex and is particularly enjoyed by Italian infants due to its Italian-base concept- someone must order a pizza and the other must quickly prepare the pizza with the requested ingredients, the children can take turns for who will order and who will prepare and can even choose to ask for other items of Italian tradition.
