Playing computer games is usually seen as a waste of time. However, what if you could actually learn something from a game? Students from Chengdu No.7 Middle School once designed four games that are both educational and fun.
Four groups of students were given the task of creating educational games freely. “After some discussion, we realized that we could use the knowledge we learned in physics and chemistry to design the game,” said Zhao Zian, leader of the group that made the game Arrow Round-the-World. The setting is an island on which players go on an adventure, performing tasks that include knowledge of many fields.
Another game called YOUNIVERSE (年轻宇宙) gives players a special task: overcoming the devils (魔鬼) inside their minds. They came up with three pairs of elements to show different attitudes when they face pressure. The idea is to find a balance between their stress at present and their ambition (雄心) for the future.
The other two groups have a bigger picture: environment and geography. Cover the Nest is a story about our future world where the environment is damaged (毁坏的) and society is unstable (不稳定的). Traveling through rich and poor neighborhoods, the player can feel the damage human beings have done to Earth. Back to Earth takes the player to different cultures in China.
“We just want to show that study can be fun!” said 15-year-old group leader Li Yunhao.

No matter young or old all children love to play different interesting games. In a school in Britain at playing time, you will see children playing all kinds of games. And after school if the weather is good and when homework is done, you are sure to find children playing outdoors too.
Everywhere you look in a playground, children are having fun chasing(追) each other! Games of chase are very popular in Britain, just like everywhere else in the world. There are lots of types of chase game, and lots of different names for them depending on which part of the WK you visit. “Tig”. “Tag”, or “Debby” are all names for the same game. In those games, somebody is “it” or “on”. He must chase his friends and try to catch them. If he can slap or tap them on the shoulder, he makes it. When he does, he shouts “Tig! You’re it!”
One of the best things about chase games is you don’t need any extra equipment(设施), like a bat or ball to play. Some games though do need equipment. Ball games are always popular, and wherever you look in the UK you will find children playing football. Often, if there are no goalposts to use, children will use their jumpers or coats as goalposts.
Another popular piece of kit that is found in many playgrounds is a skipping rope. Children take it in turns skipping into the swinging rope and jumping, while a rhyme(短诗) is chanted.
At weekends, when there is lots of time to play, many boys and girls enjoy skating and skateboarding. Most towns have skate parks, which are places where there are ramps(坡道) and rails(扶栏) for doing tricks. It’s fun to ride bikes too. BMX bikes are great for doing tricks and jumps, and some towns have special tracks for people to race or practice tricks at.
Whatever types of game you like to play, there are lots to choose from.
