development of all children. Once a child reaches school age and begins to play with other children, play becomes is a social occasion and games become elaborate ritual: these games may have regional variations but there are often similarities in the basic games, which are handed down from generation to generation; essentially the same game may appear with entirely different names in different places.

Game of the iron hoop or rim
