About This Game Guide
Games have always helped children practice the life skills they need to thrive. In this
game guide, the oldest game is more than 2,000 years old. The newest games,
invented at Playworks partner schools, are just a few years young.
The games in this guide can be played anywhere, but we have assembled them with
schools and youth-serving organizations in mind. In these settings, the challenge is not
just to introduce games kids will love, but also to ensure that dozens of children can
share space safely and with respect whether in a classroom, a gym, or outside.
Making playtime run smoothly often starts with game rules that prevent conflict and
unsafe behaviors, without making games any less fun. Shared norms for how to tag
safely, how to resolve small disagreements, and who can join in (everyone) also go a
long way. The games in this guide aim to keep as many kids playing as possible for as
long as possible. We have included some of our go-to facilitation tips below.
These games are indexed by the life skills they give kids the opportunity to practice.
The skills we chose are informed by both research in the field and the on-the-ground
impact we see at schools around the country.

For more than 20 years, Playworks has helped schools and youth organizations
through on-site staffing, consultative support, staff training, and most recently, online
learning. We are a mission-driven nonprofit committed to the power of play, and we
would be honored to support your team as well.
Play on,
The Playworks Team
