In the passage” Play time is over” David Elkind is talking about recess of being no longer a child’s play. Is an issue that has been replaced with many school activities and computer games, which makes kids very unsociolized from real culture of childhood.

Childhood games are very important because. It develops child’s mind. It helps to understand the good and the danger of real world. It helps to build a good physically body.

Developing a child’s mind in a younger age is a very important task to be achieved from parents and school. But sometimes for a child in order to have a brighter mind has to pass thru a social life called the childhood games. These are activities that the child develop his mind out of the house and school program. By playing childhood games the kids would feel the pain of falling down, the danger passing thru them and the fun of winning the game.

Back in the days I remember myself playing with other kids any type of games that comes to our mind. I remember not having to many toys to play at home but my only game and fun was outside in the street. Many times had fall down and scratch my legs and arms all over. However the pain of going thru from falling didn’t care much because I kept my body moving and my mind away from pain. I used to play until late at night making my mother coming out of the house to look for me, because I didn’t wanted to leave the game, and the fun was so incredible.

Childhood activities are very important for a kid life because it would put them in many situations of knowing the good things to do from the bad things to know. By distinguishing the good from bad it will help them understand the real world that surrounds them. Many times I see kids in here that are not very socialized with outside world. They are very scared when they walk out there. This comes because parents lock them home and school occupies them with many different activities. What I see here is a life being controlled without any freedom of doing what you love to do.

On the other hand childhood activities are very important also to build a child’s physical body, because it helps them burn the energy that body needs it out and keeps them moving all the time.

Participating children in the culture of childhood means to socialize them outside four walls of the school and TV shows. Children that had pass thru a childhood culture have more potential of becoming more smarter and better physically than kids controlled from coaches or any other activities that parents are paying. Lets have our kids enjoying their childhood social process, of giving them a little freedom of outside world.
