Touwtje springen – The Netherlands
Touwtje springen Europe The Netherlands Skipping game Props: two big ropes and small rope N.o.p.: 3 +
The children here play skipping with three ropes: two spinners with two big ropes in their hands on both sides and one skipper in the middle with a small rope. The skipper in the middle must concentrate very much on his jumping, especially if he also uses his little rope for jumping inside the two big ropes.

Koning boeren – The Netherlands
Koning Boeren Europe The Netherlands Ball game Props: a tennis ball N.o.p.: 5 +
This game is played by four children inside the playground and two children aside waiting for their turn to step in. Before starting the game, they make/draw a big square and divide this into four small squares. In every square stands a child and they use a tennis ball to play the game. Every player must hit the ball with his hand and before the ball is hit into a neighbour square, the ball must first bounce in your own square. If you receive a ball from another square it may bounce more than once in your own square before hitting it back, but most children don’t let the ball bounce too often, because then the ball loses speed and height and is therefore more difficult to hit into another square. It is fun to make feints, so that every player has to be very concentrated during this fast playing game. If you are unable to bounce the ball before you hit it into another square, then you are out and must change with a player who stands aside the playfield.

Elastieken – The Netherlands
Elastieken Europe The Netherlands Playing with things game Props: elastic band N.o.p.: 5 +
Children must jump in/on the elastic band while singing a song, and the rules are quite strict. This means concentration while jumping, but most children encourage and help each other in this game. When out, you have to hold the elastic band and some one else jumps on.
