Outdoor street games for children
The saddest thing, the children who live in the city practically do not communicate with each other. Many parents take children to different schools, which are not at the place of residence, but far enough from the house. Therefore, friends who are at school rarely communicate beyond its borders due to different places of residence. Accordingly, children have no one to walk in the yard.
