Lupo delle ore
This game requires a minimum of 3 players, although groups of 7
players are ideal. One player is the "lupo" ("wolf"), and stands with
his back to the others, who form a line at a designated distance from
him. They players call out "Lupo che ore sono?" ("Wolf, what time is
it?"), and the wolf answers with a number. The players can then take
that many steps toward him, and ask again. If, instead of a number,
the wolf responds with "Ho fame!" ("I'm hungry!"), he can turn around
and try to tag as many of the children as he can before they make it
safely back to the starting line.
--------------------------------
Regina, Regina Bella
This game requires a minimum of 4 players minimum,although groups of
10 are ideal. One player is chosen to be the "regina" ("queen"), who
stands facing the others across the playground. The other children
chant: "Regina Regina bella, quanti passi devo fare per arrivare al
tuo castello con la fede, con l'anello, con la punta del
coltello?" ("Beautiful, beautiful Queen, how many steps do I have to
take to get to your castle with the faith, with the ring, with the tip
of the knife?") The queen then calls out both a number and the name of
an animal. The children must take that many steps toward her, walking
in imitation of the animal named. The first child to reach the queen
wins.
----------------------------------
Fazzoletto peo peo
This game requires a minimum of 5 players, although groups of 14 are
ideal. The players all sit in a circle except for one who walks around
the outside of the circle carrying a handkerchief. The others chant:
"Fazzoletto Peo Peo se ti trovo ti dareo se ti trovo in un canton ti
darei uno scupazon" ("Peo Peo Handkerchief If you find you give if
you're in a corner I will give you a scupazon") The outside child
drops the handkerchief behind the back of one of the sitting children.
This child then gets up, and he and the handkerchief-bearer race
around the circle in opposite directions in attempt to be the first to
sit down in the empty spot.
--------------------------------
Strega comanda color

This game requires a minimum of 3 players, although groups of 11 are
ideal. One player is chosen as the "strega" ("witch"), who calls out a
color. The others must touch an object of that color, whether it be an
article of clothing or something in the surrounding environment,
before the witch can catch them. The first child tagged becomes the
next witch. If the current witch is unsuccessful, she must call out
another color.

* these games can be played at parks or even I doors
