Useful tips!
Play safely
Water and soap: wash your hands before and after playing, and make sure everyone involved in the fun does too.
Clean material: clean every object that is commonly shared by everyone, like scissors or pencils. If you’re a kid, you can ask an adult to help you clean the objects with the appropriate cleaning product.
Individual kits: if possible, after cleaning the material, make individual kits for everyone who will join in the fun.
Start simple
Be resourceful: find ways to adapt the activities whenever you need to. Don’t be afraid to start simple or to modify the activity to make more fun to you!
Keep on playing: try different materials and make the activities more diverse as time goes by.
Do your research: look up games people used to play a long time ago – what did adults and elders in your family use to play when they were kids? How are other children customizing the activities found in this website?
