Street games - the word alone smells of summer vacations, neighbors' children and long court entrances, which turn into a playground for small and large children for many sunny hours. A bit of nostalgia surrounds the many well-known street games like "Heaven and Hell", "Gummitwist" and "Robber and Gendarm". Maybe that's why they are currently experiencing a comeback.
Here are the most beautiful street games for children of all ages. All have one thing in common: apart from a few friends, you do not need much for these game ideas.
On the play street is drawn with colorful chalk a large snail with spiral shaped house. Divide the spiral into many fields. Each field should be large enough to comfortably accommodate a child's foot. The first child now hops on one leg from field to field. But watch out. It must not touch a line. Every successful child writes its name in any field. There it may rest, when it is time again. The other children have to skip the foreign name fields when hopping.

Rules of the game: There is no need to skip any boxes, but the technique of jumping is a bit more demanding: In the first round you simply jump the fields with your two legs, make a spin jump in the field 9 and jump back in the same way. In the second and third round only one leg is hopped, first with the right one, then with the left one. In the fields 5 and 6 as well as 8 and 9 this time you jump at the same time with your legs outstretched - so the turn must also be done with a stirrup. In the fourth round it gets even more difficult: There it goes with crossed legs from 1 to 4, wide legs to 5 and 6, then with crossed legs on and again with stabs in fields 8 and 9. There the rotation and in the same way back.
