If you want to increase your stockpile of games for recess and PE classes, why not tap into the collective wisdom of your students' parents and grandparents.
Make it a homework assignment for your students to ask their parents or other relatives for a description of the rules for their favourite childhood games.
Not only will you obtain some fun games to play, but your students may experience a special sense of connection when they play the same games their parents played when they were young.
