• Astragalizein: The game with the astragali or “kotsia” is one of the children’s favorite games. The astragali (ankles, literally) can be taken from the hind legs of goats and lambs. Sometimes, instead of ankles, they use small stones or walnuts and almonds that they enjoy and eat! The children were also playing "guess the ankles", where one child hid one of the ankles in his hand and the other tried to guess if the number of ankle was odd or even.
• Yo-Yo (creating the toy): The players carve two discs on a wooden board, which are then stuck together with an axle in the middle, on which they attach a string that is then looped around it. The yo-yo is ready!
• Kollavizein: A player stands and covers his eyes with his hand. Another player hits him and at the same time asks him with which hand he hit him.
• Apodidraskindra (Hide and seek): A player closes her eyes and the others run to hide within a predefined period of time. The player opens her eyes and tries to find them. Every time she finds one, she has to run to her initial position, outrunning the one she found, or else she loses.
• Pentolitha/Pentovola: This is an ancient Greek game that is still played today. There is no limit in the number of participating players. Each child keeps five pebbles near his/her feet. Each player must throw a pebble high in the air, and must catch it while having already picked up another from the ground.
• Akinitinda: The players, upon hearing a predetermined phrase, must remain totally stationary. The one who moves is expelled from the game. In the statuettes game, all the children are standing on a line, one next to another, except for one. This childis about five meters away from the other children, and with his/her back turned on them, he/she says: "Statuettes, immobile, silent and unsmiling; day or night?”, the other children move when he/she talks, but when he/she asks, they either answer "day"or "night”. If they say "night", the game continues; if they say "day", he/she turns and all the statues remain still, and then whoever moves, becomes the child that asks the question, and the game is restarted.
• Sphaira (ball): The ball in ancient Greek was called sphaira. A ball game played back then was called “aporraxis” or "detraction". It was played by two or more children. Every child throws the ball on the ground and counts how many times it bounces.The winner is the one who will make the ball bounce the more times.
• Typhlomyga (blind fly): A scarf was put on a child's eyes, and it said "I will chase a copper-colored fly". The other kids responded: "You may chase it but you will not catch it" while hitting the child with their belts until it caught one of the other players.
• Tic-tac-toe: This game is known by many names. In Greek its name is triliza. A tic tac toe was found engraved at the Karnak Temple in Egypt dating from 1400 BC, another in a Bronze Age cemetery in Ireland and one on the Acropolis in Athens. In Africa it is known as Morabaramba. In Britain, ancient buildings with engraved tictac- toes have been found. It is believed that the craftsmen were carving tic-tac-toes on stones before using them in masonry. The tic-tac-toe reached the zenith of its popularity in Europe during the Renaissance. Shakespeare refers to the game on "Summer Night Dream".
