The following statement tries to be a detailed explation on Italian games, accomplished through an interesting comparison between the games children play today and the games their parents played yesterday The survey about games was done among 85 students, both boys and girls, aged 12/13 years old and all partecipating in Comenius Project. The students involved in the interview had to answer 16 questions. Here are the explanation of the analysis: All the students interviewed stated that their parents played outside with their friends in the street where they lived. The games they preferred were particularly “Hide-and-seek-ball” and other typical games of their own town, namely “Mazz e Cuzz”, “Alli rutcedd” and “Allu buatt”. Among the games cited above, they pointed out “Hide-and-Seek”as the game mostly preferred by their fathers and mothers (35/85) together with other attractive, likeable (but less favourite) games, such as : playing with dolls made of cloth (22/85), Bell (14/85), Marbles (9/85) and Small Cars (5/85). As for their grand-parents' favourite games, the students mentioned again “Mazz e Cuzz” (a traditional game of their town), as the most favourite game of their grandfathers and grandmothers (24/85), but also other games, which were however much less favourite than “Mazz e Cuzz”, such as : Skipping (31/85), Bell (12/85), Buatt (that is : strike the tin) (7/85), Five stones /11/85). Indeed, a little number of the children of those days (now the parents of the interviewed students) and precisely 5/85 children, did not play, because they often went to work after school. The interviewed boys and girls (cited above) also answered other questions on those games which are more specifically related to modern times, namely technological and national ones. From the results obtained, we can reasonably deduce that they prefer Computer games (41/85) more than Board games (39/85) and that just a little number of the interviewed students (namely 5/85) like both games (that is to say computer and board games as well). As for National games, instead, just a few students involved in the interview (4/85) said that they had not, or better that there wasn't a national game to follow as a fun, while the most part of the students said that they liked above all football (36/85), then Hide-and-seek ((25/85), Bingo and draughts (15/85) and State lottery (3/85). Besides, with regard to their wish or desire to create or make toys by themselves, the most part of them answered that they didn't like to do it (53/85), others answered that they liked very much ((22/85) and just a few students said that they loved making toys by themselves but, for obvious reasons, they couldn't do it (10/85). The survey on these students' games also focused on their favourite games inside / outside / and on the computer. As for inside computer, almost all the students involved in the interview answered that they liked different board games (82/85) and just a few said that they liked listening to music (3/85). Instead, as concerns outside computer, they expressed their main preference for football (36/85), then for Hide-and-seek (32/85) and finally for beach volley (17/85). As regards on the computer games,instead, they listed different games, such as : Jerusalem – Super Mario Bross – Spider – Adventure – Chicken invaders – It girl – Subway surf – History share – Hairdresser. But the survey also points out how many games these students actually have at home and how many games their parents had during their childhood. The difference is remarkable. As well as the intervewed boys and girls answered, today children have a lot of games, above all video-games and board games as well, while yesterday their parents had only few games, because they often played outdoor games. The difference of the results obtained can be reasonably explained with the difference between the times in which their parents lived yesterday and the times in which these students live today. With the successive analysis on the games played without materials, the results obtained listed the following games : Hide-and-seek (13/85), tag (20/85),“1-2-3 star” (14/85), invent stories (2/85), rd hand (7/85), “stone-paper or scissor” (4/85), mime (3/85), chain reaction (10/85); speed race (12/85). The most popular games in their country, instead, are football (38/85) and card game (35/85) together with other two less popular games that they cited, namely Bingo (8/85) and Hide-and-seek (4/85). As for the place where games can be played, the survey points out a very difference existing between the games played at home and the games played at school, together with the reasons of the difference between them. In fact, as all the interviewed students undelined (85/85), the games played at school are team games with precise rules to respect; instead, at home they often play alone on the computer. Indeed, the survey points out another interesting difference existing between games, namely the difference between the games played by these students' parents yesterday and the games played by the students today; a reasonable difference due to the obvious difference of the times, namely due to the unstoppable technological progress of nowadays. As the students reported in their interview, the games which substantially differ from their parents' ones are the electronic games and those on the computer, simply because their parents had not them. No difference exists, instead, between the outdoor games played today by the interviewed students and the outdoor games played yesterday by their parents. In fact, as they affirm, the games which they play and which are similar to their parents are all those games their parents did outdoor, like : Hide-and-seek, bell, football, excepted for the board games, played inside. Successively, interviewed on their skill or their more or less ability to invent or create stories during their games, the majority of the students involved in this interview (48/85) answered “never”, another consistent number of students (25/85) affirmed “hardly ever” and just a smallest group (12/85) said “sometimes”. Not only, but a large number of the students (53/85) also affirmed that they didn't know what foreign boys and girls played in other countries, while another group of students (32/85) affirmed that they knew. They admitted that from the Belgian suitcase they have learnt that they play “marbles”, just like them and from the Finnish suitcase they have learnt a new game “The Tarpot”. As for what they argue about during games, the majority of the students (48/85) report the lack of observance of rules, while other students (37/85) report the way to organize the game. Questioned on the existence of a possible difference between the behaviour of the boys and that of the girls while they are playing, the majority of the interviewed students (72/85) confirm the existence of a difference, while just a small group of students (13/85) disapprove, by adding that they play all together above all some ballgames like volley ball, football and the poisoned ball. On the possibility of cheating during playing, many students (63/85) totally deny it, while just 22/85 students confirm, by saying that they add marks or they exchange cards.
