Traditional Turkish Children's Games

Turkey's culture includes games which children have played for generations.

Every region of Turkey has a different history of cultural games the children have played.

But, similarities exist between the games in different regions. Children's games can involve objects, such as sticks, pebbles, balls

or knuckle-bones. The game may be an active game, with jumping and running, or be

a riddle, rhyme or game accompanied by a song. We believe that we play all the games in each country.

How to Play Dodgeball

Dodgeball is one of the popular game between kids in Turkey. Why is it enjoying such success?"Dodgeball has many advantages over other sports, but none more than its absolute accessibility. It is played right across the world by people of all ages, sexes and sporting abilities. It is very simple to learn, and ‘everyone’ has the ability get involved as part of a team" UKDBA

Dodgeball is a simple, fast paced game that can be played by anyone. Teams of mixed ability, gender and age are possible, and there are plenty of rule variations to keep your sessions fresh.The aim of the game is to eliminate the opposing team by either hitting them with a ball or catching one of their throws. You have to keep your wits about you to land hits on opposing players whilst avoiding getting hit

yourself. Each game only lasts 2 minutes, but after a couple of high-intensity matches, you will be getting one heck of a cardio workout!

Object of DodgeballEliminate all opposing players by getting them 'out.' The easiest way to eliminate a player is to hit them with a dodgeball. You can also eliminate a player by catching one of their throws. This is how to really turn around a game; when you catch a thrown ball, not only do you eliminate the thrower, but you can bring back one of your own eliminated players (FOFI - first out, first in). Players can fumble catches, but must retain possession of the ball without it touching any other player, ball, object, or surface. Catches win matches

Winning a Game

You win a game of dodgeball when either:

1. All of the opposing team have been eliminated2. You have more players than the opposing team at the end of a

2minute gameIf both teams are equal in number after 2 minutes, 1minute overtime is played. If teams are still equal after this, sudden death begins. The next team to eliminate an opposing player wins.

Opening RushEach game begins with the 'opening rush' where three players from each team run to gain possession of the three balls in the centre of the court. These balls must be taken or passed to the back of the court before they can be thrown at the opposition.Getting 'Out'You are called out when:1. A live ball (i.e. one that has not bounced, hit another player, hit

another ball or hit a wall) hits you directly. Clothing counts as part of a player's body;

2. An opposing player catches your throw;3. When you step into the dead zone (hands/arms are allowed);4. When you touch, or step over, a boundary line;5. When a referee calls you 'out' for any reason. (Arguing with the

officials just gets you out anyway)

Dodgeball StrategyDodgeball is a team sport, and like any other team sport, requires a certain amount of strategy to win. Yes, you can win by just going all out in a free-for-all scenario, but more experienced teams will soon pick you off. To win against the best you must play like the best. There are several strategies that you need to be aware of to succeed in dodgeball: Throw as a team: Solo throws are often seen in rookie players. You

should call out the number of balls your team has at any one time. If you have more than one ball, co-ordinate your team to throw at a single target, at the same time. This is much harder to catch or dodge and makes you look much more professional. Develop your own cues and calls so the opposition cannot guess who you are about to throw at.

Spread out: If your whole team is bunched in one area it will make it harder to dodge incoming balls and much easier for the opposition to hit someone - they just lob it in your general direction!

Stay back and away from the sidelines: Too close and you are going to get hit easily, too far back and your own throws will be easier

to dodge. You should move forward (as a team, remember) when you throw your balls, and move back to avoid the counter. Stay away from the edges of the court as this limits your dodging space

Apart from these two general rules, there are specific strategies used by the top dodgeball teams: Eliminate stronger throwers first Aim at players in the corners to force them to step out of bounds. Hold a ball behind your back for a teammate to grab and throw. If the

opposition don't know who has the balls, they are easier to hit. Even if you don't have a ball, hold your hands behind your back to fool the opposition into thinking you might.

Don't celebrate hits. The opposition will be vulnerable immediately after losing someone, so follow up with some low, fast throws.

Practice plays where balls are passed between players, or players cross paths before throwing.

If you are last one standing, crouch down and hold a ball to deflect incoming hits. This makes you harder to hit (you are a smaller target) and may give you a chance at a catch. When all of the balls have been deflected onto your side, you can go on the offensive.

POSSIBLE APPLICATION IN EDUCATION (SUBJECT, LEARNING FIELD)

Both ball dodgers and ball throwers have to have good hand-eye coordination. To successfully hit other players, throwers need to coordinate their throws not only with the other players' current location, but also with their anticipated location when the ball lands. Runners have to keep abreast of the current location of the ball, adjusting their location accordingly.This game can be used in Technology class they can search the objects made of wood, steel, iron, etc. In language lessons students can learn the verbs of “throw, catch, run, win” etc, they can also learn different prepositions, verbs and nouns

In maths subjects they learn to find the solution in a short time.

RULES AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME

1-First, they choose how they will skip. For example; to skip one, two, three….; to skip first slowly after than fast…2-Two players hold a long rope. They turn the rope.3-The players skip how they choose. When the player couldn’t’t skip, the player will hold the rope.4-The game follows the same way.

When I was a little, I used to play a very fun game. It was a girls' game; boys never played with us. We played at school during the break or in my neighbourhood in the afternoons. We spent hours playing it, and we never got tired of it because we had such a good time.

To play the game, you will need three or more people. Two players, one in each corner, hold an elastic band and the rest play. If one of the players loses, she has to change places with one of the girls who is holding the elastic band.

A player starts by jumping the elastic at ankle height. Then it is raised to

the middle of the leg, then to the knees, the hips, the waist, the chest, the

shoulders, the neck, and head. In the last level called heaven, the elastic

band is held up with raised arms.

This is played on the streets mostly by girls. There are three ways to play:

1. Alone, turning the rope alone.

2. One girl jumping a rope twirled by two girls

3. More than one jumping in a rope twirled by two girls.

The rope should be long enough to touch the ground and allow for the heights of the girls jumping.  When more than one play, one player must jump as many times as another. There are various ways to jump:

Çat arası: Catching the rope between the legs at the end of the jumping.Kurbağalama: Catching the rope between the hands and legs at the end of the jumping.Tek ayak üstünde atlama: Jumping on one foot.

“No break” jumping. Played together, with no break. Whoever fails to jump or to do the right action at the end of the jumping is out, and takes the place of one of the girls turning the rope. Whoever makes it through without a mistake wins the game.

Here's how we played this special jump rope game

Two persons stood opposite each other and extended the rubber band.

One player jumped and stood on one side of the rubber band, carrying the two sides together.

Then she jumped again and made the two sides separate.

Then she jumped again into the middle of the rubber-band and after that she jumped outside it.

If we finished these steps without any mistakes, we started the next level.

As the game continued, the level of jumping got higher and higher. There were four jumping levels: ankle high, knee high, waist high, and under the shoulder. More and more girls tried to jump and we competed as teams. The game was fun, and I think it taught us competition and cooperation.

To play this jump rope game, players follow these steps:

Jump into the middle of the elastic band. Open and close your legs three times.

Jump to one side of the elastic band and step on it. Jump to the other side and do the same.

Jump out of the elastic band.

Jump from the outside to the inside and try to take the elastic band with you. You have to cross the elastic from the right to the left.

Jump to open and close your legs three times.

Make a big hop, and try to keep the elastic band between your legs.

Jump out and go to the next level.

You have to play like that until you get to the fifth level, then you can do the same thing but this time you are not going to use your legs, rather you will use your head. In the last level (Heaven), you play with your arms.

Sometimes two or three people played at the same time. Whoever fell or stepped on the elastic band at the wrong time lost her turn.

I had forgotten how much fun it is to play this game, and I realize times are changing. We were so creative and innocent; we had fun in a simple way. You can't compare our old games in those times with today's games.

POSSIBLE APPLICATION IN EDUCATION (SUBJECT, LEARNING FIELD,)

This game is a very good way to improve vocabulary in foreign languages, not only to learn action words, but also you can play with your students standing and holding a rope, so you can play “word game” a comparative adjective, or a preposition.

HOPSCOTCH

NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: At least 2 people, but more people make for more fun

AGE: 5 years old and on

SPACE: Outdoor / Indoor (in the gyms)

TIME: 10 min

MATERIALS:One flat stone, a chalk for drawing playing lines

AIMS:

1) Strength and speed;2) Concentration;3) Focus on the game;4) Learning game rules;5) Increase personal interaction;6) Warm up before starting a class;7) Increase memory and fix contents;

TEACHING SUBJECTS: Especially primary school subjects to secondary school (Foreign languages, physical Education, etc.)

TYPE OF THE LESSON: Developing personal capabilities and spoken in foreign languages;

Hopscotch Game is one of the media in teaching speaking. It is purposed to help the students more

 

What You Do:

1. With chalk, draw a hopscotch grid on the driveway or sidewalk (10 squares, number

consecutively, with the numbers 1,2,5, and 8 in single squares and the numbers 3 and 4, 6 and

7, and 9 and 10 in side-by-side squares)

2. Your child tosses his marker onto the square marked with the number 1.

3. He then hops over that square (when possible, there should be no touching down on the square with the marker on it) and lands on one foot in the square marked 2.

4. He jumps in the squares marked 3 and 4 (a two-footed landing with the left foot in the left square and the right foot in the right square), hops (one-footed landing) in the square marked 5, and so on, up the grid.

5. At the top of the grid, he turns and follows the same pattern back to the beginning, once again hopping over the first square.

You can play this game indoors by using numbered carpet squares. Or you can use letters instead of numbers in the square to help your child with the alphabet. Ask her to say the letter aloud as she moves onto each square for added learning!

RULES AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME:

1. There can be any number of players, and a stone is the only object you need to play it. If you are the first player, you draw a figure on the floor with a piece of chalk.2. Then you throw the stone inside square one. After that, you have to hop into each square, starting with square 1 and ending in square eight.3. If there are two squares together, you jump landing with one foot in each square; but if there is only one square, you must hop on one foot.4. When you reach squares 7 and 8, you have to turn back jumping again until square 1. Then you continue playing the next level.5. This time you begin by throwing the stone into square number 2. In the next level, you throw it into square number 3. You continue until level 8.6. The first player who does all the levels is the winner. The most important thing is that the player has to skip the square where the stone is.POSSIBLE APPLICATION IN EDUCATION (SUBJECT, LEARNING FIELD,)interested in teaching-learning process.

POSSIBLE APPLICATION IN EDUCATION (SUBJECT, LEARNING FIELD,)

It is possible to use this game in many subjects relating categories.

In an English lesson we can create vocabulary topics (friendship, body education, actions, etc.). But we can also play in a different way if players must create logical sentences.

We can teach Subjects of the sentences, such as WE, I, YOU, THEY.

It is also possible to teach some vocabulary such as; stand still, jump over, bend down, run.

After the activity completed in the open area, in the class it can be discussion to speak how the game rules and telling the story what they did outside.

This game is available to play in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, every day.
