Do we need rules for games?

In Autahi this term, we have been exploring about ways that we play as part of our inquiry learning.
Over the last two weeks we have been using a mixture of our imaginations and some ingenuity to help us create some games.
We had to use common equipment and think about what we need to know to play.
First we tried playing with no rules. It was fun for some people but many didn't know what to do or how to play. So we tried thinking of rules and instructions to see if that would help. More people were able to join in and have fun when we had a few rules. We came to the conclusion that sometimes playing just to play is really fun but when there are lots of people then we need some instructions and rules to help us.

Check us out enjoying the games we came up with.
