Why solo games matter
In individual games, a child is responsible for every move. That can feel exposing, so the best games frame the challenge as play rather than a test. Children compete with a rhythm, a target or a timer instead of with each other.
These games suit shy children, children who are new to a group and mixed-age settings at home. Many can be played in a garden or a small hall with very little equipment.
