Traditional games are an integral part of cultural heritage, passed down through generations. These games have been enjoyed by children throughout history, both boys and girls alike. They hold recreational significance and offer various benefits, not only for fun but also for social development, shaping personalities, and enhancing mental and cognitive skills. Through traditional games, children learn to innovate by creating games from available tools and materials in their environment. They also enjoy the freedom to establish their own rules for the games they play.

Some of the most well-known traditional games for both girls and boys include:
1. Game of Al-Qais
