New
Games embody an attitude toward play. They are cooperative games sometimes
including competition where participants play together rather than against
one another. The capacity to join and have fun with others is more important
than winning. Everyone can play New Games regardless of age, ability,
size, or gender. They require little or no equipment and are presented
and played in a safe manner that encourages participation, creativity,
and personal expression. New Games offers a new direction for traditional
sports, physical education, and recreation. Ultimately, by cooperating
in play, we learn to live together better.
New Games are for... elementary to high school classes; businesses (from
conflict resolution to team building); physical education programs;
retirement homes; after school programs; community groups; youth groups;
religious groups; parents. In short, anyone who leads or is part of
a group.
