Laugh, Run and Move to Develop Together Games with a psychosocial aim

This manual came into being following a project initiated in 2005 at Terre des hommes, called “Movement, Games and Sport for children’s psychosocial development”. This project began in the United Nations year dedicated to Sport and Physical Education, with the idea of supporting initiatives to use sport as a tool for education, development and for the promotion of peace.

This manual, a compilation of twenty games, is not trying to be yet another games manual numbering and describing sport activities to be done with children for recreation. The idea is to provide those in charge of children a play tool which integrates the psychosocial approach and uses the phases of learning by experience.
