Outdoor games are actually an expression of a natural human condition, of a child especially and it is essential in a child’s creativity development. A child whose spontaneity is inhibited will become a stereotypical adult, without having the capacity to integrate and adapt to the social environment. Psychologists consider that outdoor games, in parks, in the nature in general are a first step in this direction. Outdoor games with other children or with adults are the most important way through which the child knows his environment and develops his comprehension and learning capacity. For example a child will understand more easily that grass gets him dirty if he is running in his white socks on grassland than receiving information about a blade of grass which contains chlorophyll and this is a green substance with pigments able to let green traces in his hand.
