Variety Activities That: Although the nature of children's play varies with the environment, surveys of children's play interests have been sufficiently extensive to warrant certain generalizations. Some of their games such as hide-and-seek, blindman's bluff, hopscotch, Red Rover, dodge ball, have existed for centuries. The peak of variety activities that in play activities appears to be in the ninth year. After the tenth year there is a decrease in the number of different play activities reported.
This time, I will begin with a definition: Publicity is a message about your activities prepared as editorial, rather than advertising, material, and published or broadcast without charge.
Apart from the public relations techniques I have described, you can get a lot of mileage by keeping the newspapers, radio, and TV stations in your area informed of your activities. However, before we get into the details, remember that these activities must have some interest to the people who will see or hear them, or the editors will throw away your material.
Freedom to engage in a wider range of activities takes children out of their homes to the hillsides to build caves; to the woods to climb trees, gather nuts, construct cabins, make campfires; to the town to buy parts for radio sets and model planes and to watch the big machines at work erecting new buildings; to the pond for skating and swimming; and all over the surrounding country or city streets on foot or on bicycles and roller skates. There is scarcely a play activity that some ten-year-olds do not .heck. However, it is evident that there are individual differences in variety activities that of play interests. Some children engage in fewer than ten activities while others engage in almost one hundred kinds of recreation during a single week. |
