The game/activity that I have made up is called Sticker tag but with a water gun
How this game is played is first you need about minimum 4 of your friends, and then you distinguish who is “it” or better yet the one chasing others. Then the parents help put a special sticker that will, when wet change colors on a part of every child’s body because that is where they need to be targeted to be declared “out”
After that has happened, the kids then disperse and spread out over a preferably large field or open area that has a soft ground for the children’s safety
To declare another child “out” or inactive they need to remember where the sticker is and spray/hit them in the spot that as those are the official rules
Last man/child standing is declared the winner and will receive an incentive if there was one spoken about before the game commenced
Rules are as follows: not allowed to grab any of the opposing players, take sticker off of you at any time during play and any other form of cheating
Have fun!
Part ll: Physical Development
This game is required for those ages 6 and up all the way to the age you can not run and think anymore
This game fits with physical development perfectly because of the fitness portion, as well as motor development.
Fine motor skills: Being able to pinpoint the sticker on the opposing players body, knowing how to work the water gun and using the trigger at appropriate times
Gross motor skills: Running, jumping, walking, hopping
Part lll: Cognitive Development
Cognitive Development implements itself into this game in many ways.
When children, teenagers or adults play this game they will recognize that it is not the normal tag game that only requires running.
This game fits well with Cognitive Development and also enhances their abilities to learn, memorize and process information
For example: memorization is pivotal in this game as children that are playing it need to know where the sticker is at all times so they can be successful in shooting the sticker so they can be successful
Another example can be information processing as they continually think about what to do next to again, be successful
Cognitive Development plays a large part in children’s growth and development as there are many things that tie together for most importantly brain development
Part IV: Socioemotional Development
Socioemotional Development plays also implements itself in this game
This game taps into the emotional side of a human being and also the brain
As children grow they need things/games/experiences to help develop this part of their lives
Some aspects that relate to this game in the Socioemotional Development field are: relationships, emotions, and attachment
Relationships in life can be built and made strong through various bonding activities
Playing games together can strengthen that bond and build hopefully life lasting relationships
Emotions tend to rise in games and different events in life. This game can show high tempers if someone’s sticker is hit with a water gun
After everything has happened, tempers flaring, happiness and other things, after the game the kids will still be friends and attachment will
