No matter young or old all children love to play different interesting games. In a school in Britain at playing time, you will see children playing all kinds of games. And after school if the weather is good and when homework is done, you are sure to find children playing outdoors too.
Everywhere you look in a playground, children are having fun chasing(追) each other! Games of chase are very popular in Britain, just like everywhere else in the world. There are lots of types of chase game, and lots of different names for them depending on which part of the WK you visit. "Tig". "Tag", or "Debby" are all names for the same game. In those games, somebody is "it" or "on". He must chase his friends and try to catch them. If he can slap or tap them on the shoulder, he makes it. When he does, he shouts "Tig! You're it!"
One of the best things about chase games is you don't need any extra equipment(设施), like a bat or ball to play. Some games though do need equipment. Ball games are always popular, and wherever you look in the UK you will find children playing football. Often, if there are no goalposts to use, children will use their jumpers or coats as goalposts.
Another popular piece of kit that is found in many playgrounds is a skipping rope. Children take it in turns skipping into the swinging rope and jumping, while a rhyme(短诗) is chanted.
At weekends, when there is lots of time to play, many boys and girls enjoy skating and skateboarding. Most towns have skate parks, which are places where there are ramps(坡道) and rails(扶栏) for doing tricks. It's fun to ride bikes too. BMX bikes are great for doing tricks and jumps, and some towns have special tracks for people to race or practice tricks at.
Whatever types of game you like to play, there are lots to choose from.
