1 Hopscotch Hopscotch is a children's game that can be played with several players or alone. Hopscotch is a popular playground game in which players toss a small object into numbered spaces of a pattern of rectangles outlined on the ground and then hop or jump through the spaces to retrieve the object.

2 Five Stones The game is played with five stones. The players start by casting the stones on the ground and then trying to pick them up one- by-one, and then in groups of two, three and four.In the second part of the game, called köprü (bridge), the players must pass the stones one-by-one first through their thumb and forefinger, then through their forefinger and middle finger, middle finger and ring finger and finally their ring finger and little finger.In the last part of the game, they throw all the stones in the air and try to catch a stone on the top of the hand. The stones caught are then grabbed by the same hand. The number of stones caught is entered into the player’s score. Whoever fails to catch a stone or comes in last in the “bridge” part, is out of the game. Whoever reaches the agreed-upon number first, wins the game.

3 Nine Stones (Dokuz Taş) Nine Stones (Dokuz Taş) This game is played by two children with nine stones, on the board above. Each player has different colored stones. The players put their stones on the board and move them from intersection to intersection. Whoever manages to get three stones in a row wins the game.

4 Tug of War (Halat Çekme Oyunu) Two children choose their players. When two equal teams have been formed, a line is drawn and both teams hold each end of a rope and begin to pull. The object is to pull the opposing team over the line. The winning team is the one who pulls all the opposing team’s members to their side.

5 From Ear to Ear (Kulaktan Kula ğ a) This game is played by boys and girls on winter nights. The child who is “it” has all the other children sit side by side, and sits on the end. He or she then whispers a sentence or rhyme in the ear of the child next to him. The second player must say the same sentence or rhyme to the one next to him, and so on until it has reached the other end of the line. The last child then says the phrase aloud. It is usually different than the way the first child said it. Then all the children say it, from last to first, and whichever child changed it, becomes the next “it.”

6 Grab the Handkerchief (Mendil Kapmaca) The children divide into two equal teams. Each player has a number. The “judge,” sitting in the middle of a circle holding a handkecrcief, calls the players by numbers. One of the most common bluffs used in the game is to make as if one will grab the handkerchief, and allow the opponent to catch the handkerchief and catch him.

7 Coin Football (Para Futbol ) This game is played on a table, and requires three coins. The players sit across from one another at the table, and flip a coin to see who will go first. The player has to flick the coins, one between the other two, with his finger and move towards the “goal” which the other player makes with his first and little finger. On the last flick he tries to make a goal. If the coin falls off the table during the game, the turn goes to the other player, and the game resumes with the coin being placed where it fell from the table. Whoever succeeds in making the number of goals decided beforehand, wins the game.

8 Long Donkey(Uzun Eşşek ) Long Donkey(Uzun Eşşek ) This game needs eight boys to play. The boys divide into two teams of four and play “heads or tails” to find which team will “lie” and which team will “mount.” After they flip, one team gets to get on the backs of the other team members. One player from the “lying” team leans up against a wall, as a “pillow.” The other children on his team then put their heads between the legs of the next one, and support this child. The members of the “mounting” team then jump on the backs of the “long donkey” in order. The child who got on first holds up a number of fingers. Of the “lying” team, only the “pillow” can see this number. One of the others on the team says a number. If he guesses right, or if one of the mounting team falls when jumping on the backs of the others, the teams switch places. Otherwise the game is repeated with the teams in the same positions.

9 Burning Ball(Yakar Top ) The players divide into two equal teams, which stand facing each other a certain distance apart. The players try to hit other team’s players with ball. If the player is hit by other team’s player, he dies and is out of the game. When the players try to hit them,the players can hold the ball in to the air.If the players do this,the players win one more life or take the player in the game.The game continues until the team has only one player.When the team has only one player,other team has to hit the players with eight shouts,If they can’t do this,The team lose the game and the other team win a flag.If they do this,they can change the roles.

10 Sack Race(Çuval Yarışı) The sack race or gunny sack race is a competitive game in which participants place both of their legs inside a sack or pillow case that reaches their waist or neck and jump forward from a starting point toward a finish line. The first person to cross the finish line is the winner of the race.
