folk games

Folk games are traditional, community-based activities and games passed down through generations, often played informally without structured rules. They reflect local customs and cultural values, varying across regions and communities. These games typically involve simple equipment or no equipment at all, encouraging social interaction, creativity, and physical activity. Examples include tag, hide-and-seek, or jump rope. Folk games serve not only as entertainment but also as a means of preserving cultural heritage and fostering community bonding. They highlight the diversity of recreational practices rooted in local histories and social contexts.
