We are delighted to present an exciting collection of games that were part of the Erasmus+ Youth Exchange Project: Play Without barriers, which took place in Berlin from 1st to 10th June 2023. Organized by “Chance International,” a German NGO dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion, this project aimed to foster social cohesion, break down barriers, and promote equality among young people from different backgrounds.
Supported by the Erasmus+ program, which funds initiatives that enhance education, training, and youth development, the Play Without barriers project brought together participants from various countries to explore the power of games in creating inclusive environments. Through interactive and engaging activities, the project sought to challenge stereotypes, encourage teamwork, and enhance cross-cultural understanding.
During the project, participants collaborated in a vibrant and multicultural setting, sharing their diverse perspectives, experiences, and skills. Over the course of the exchange, a total of 29 games were developed and played, each with a unique focus on inclusivity and addressing specific social barriers.
These games showcased the immense potential of play as a tool for social change. From games that fostered teamwork and communication, to those that challenged physical and cognitive abilities, every game aimed to provide an inclusive and accessible experience for all participants. Importantly, the games were designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities, ensuring their active involvement and equal participation.
The Play Without barriers project not only provided an opportunity for personal growth and skill development but also facilitated the building of lasting connections and friendships among the participants. Through shared experiences, laughter, and friendly competition, barriers such as social stigma, discrimination, and cultural differences were transcended, allowing for genuine bonds to form.
This collection of games serves as a testament to the creativity, innovation, and inclusivity that can be achieved through collaborative efforts. By embracing the principles of equality, diversity, and respect, the participants demonstrated their commitment to a more inclusive society.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to “Chance International” for their dedication and commitment in organizing this remarkable project. Their passion for promoting inclusivity and empowering young people has made a significant impact in the lives of participants and communities alike. We also express our gratitude to the Erasmus+ program for their support in making this project possible.
We hope that these games inspire and encourage others to create inclusive environments in their communities, using play as a catalyst for positive change. Let us continue working together to build a society where everyone has a chance to participate, contribute, and thrive.
Together, we can break down barriers and build bridges of understanding through the universal language of games.

After the last question, the participants are asked to open their eyes.
The game: The leader asks the participants to form a line, standing shoulder to shoulder. Participants close their eyes again and take a step forward every time a sentence read by the leader is true for their character. If it doesn’t apply, they stay in the same place. After all the questions are asked, the leader asks the participants to open their eyes and look around without changing their positions.
Debriefing: During the debriefing, the leader asks a series of questions to the participants, including how they feel, their conclusions, their emotions while walking or not walking, their realization of people behind them, the resemblance to the real world, and how the situation could be changed for their character.
Why should participants play this game: Participants gain a wider perspective on the possibilities and barriers faced by people from different backgrounds.
Which problems are solved by playing this game: Participants become more aware of societal issues and their potential role in addressing them. It also highlights the lack of self-worth that some individuals may experience.

The seeker may call out the names of the hiders they find, and those players are then out of the game. The game continues until the seeker finds all the hiders or until a predetermined time limit is reached.
Participants should play this game because it is fun, active, and evokes a sense of nostalgia. It brings back childhood memories and provides an entertaining experience for players of all ages.
Playing Hide and Seek helps develop problem-solving skills, as hiders need to think strategically about their hiding spots, and the seeker must use observation and deduction to locate the hiders.
Barrier adjustments: People with physical disabilities may have limitations in participating in the physical aspect of the game.

Game title in English: Breaking the Touch Barrier
Game master: Cristina Misirgic
Description: Participants experience the world through touch while blindfolded, guided by observers.
Required inventory: Blindfolds
Duration: 30 minutes Where can you play it: A big but limited space, such as a large room.
Game session detailed description:
The participants are divided into two groups: players and observers. The players are blindfolded, covering their eyes, while the observers are sighted and responsible for guiding and assisting the blindfolded players throughout the game.
Participants pair up, with each player assigned an observer. The observers’ role is to ensure the safety of the blindfolded players, preventing them from bumping into objects or other players. The players and observers spread out within the designated space.
When the game begins, the players receive their first task. The objective may vary, but an example task could be for the players to group the observers and then arrange them in order of their height. The blindfolded players rely solely on their sense of touch and the guidance of their observers to complete the task.
Breaking the Touch Barrier provides a unique opportunity for participants to experience a visual impairment and gain awareness of the challenges faced by individuals who are blind or visually impaired. By relying on touch and communication with their observers, the players gain a deeper understanding of the sensory world and the importance of touch as a means of perception.
This game promotes empathy, understanding, and awareness of visual impairments. It encourages participants to step outside of their comfort zones and develop a greater appreciation for the power of touch and non-visual communication.
Barrier adjustments: It is crucial to consider the comfort and readiness of participants who may not be accustomed to this type of experience. Starting with simple tasks and gradually increasing the complexity can help prevent participants from feeling overwhelmed or scared. Additionally, facilitators should ensure that the space is free from hazards or obstacles that could pose a safety risk to blindfolded players.
Limitations: Participants who have difficulty with movement may face challenges in playing this game, as it involves physical mobility and coordination. However, adaptations can be made to accommodate their needs, such as assigning them an observer who can provide additional support or allowing them to participate as observers themselves.

Game title in English: Spyfall
Game master: Vasilje Aleksić
Description: Players try to guess who the spy is in the group while the spy tries to figure out the location of the game.
Required inventory: Device with internet connection
Duration: Explanation – 10 minutes, gameplay – 10 minutes Where can you play it: Anywhere with an internet connection
Game session detailed description:
The players gather in a circle and join a virtual lobby, which requires a device with an internet connection. The host of the lobby initiates the game and assigns roles to each participant. All players will have the location displayed on their screens, except for the spy who does not see the location and needs to guess it.
Once the game starts, the players have 10 minutes to engage in conversation and try to identify the spy among them, while also avoiding revealing the location of the game. Through conversation and observation of each other’s responses, players attempt to deduce who the spy is based on their lack of knowledge about the location.
The objective for the non-spy players is to identify the spy before the time runs out, while the spy’s goal is to correctly guess the location. At the end of the game, all participants reveal their suspicions by pointing out who they believe the spy is, and the spy reveals their guess for the location.
Spyfall is a fun and interactive game that enhances players’ deduction skills and encourages strategic thinking and communication. By analyzing each other’s responses and trying to gather information without giving away the location, players sharpen their abilities to identify the spy and work collaboratively.
This game promotes teamwork, observation, and critical thinking, as players need to carefully analyze the information provided by others while keeping their own role hidden. It is an engaging and entertaining activity that can be enjoyed by a wide range of participants.
Barrier adjustments: Spyfall requires an internet connection, so individuals without access to the internet would not be able to participate directly. However, they could potentially observe the game if it is being played in a group setting where they can follow the gameplay and discussions.
Limitations: People without internet access or devices with internet connectivity would not be able to actively participate in the game. Additionally, individuals who are not familiar with the concept of deduction games or those who struggle with online communication may find it more challenging to engage in the gameplay effectively.

Game title: Kabaddi
Game master: Mohil Khona
Description: Two teams compete against each other, with one team sending a raider to touch opponents without getting caught while the defending team tries to stop them.
Required inventory: Tapes to mark the playing area
Duration: Around 20-30 minutes Where can you play it: Sand or grass surfaces, preferably outdoors until you become professional
Game session description
The game starts with two teams consisting of 7-10 members each, divided into a raiding team and a defending team. The teams position themselves on opposite sides of the playing area, marked with tapes to define the boundaries.
The raiding team selects one player as the raider, who enters the opponents’ side of the court. The raider’s objective is to touch as many defenders as possible and return safely to their team’s side before the time runs out (typically 30 seconds). Meanwhile, the defending team tries to catch and hold the raider within their court to eliminate them from the game or prevent them from returning.
If the raider successfully touches opponents and returns without getting caught, their team earns points equal to the number of defenders touched. The defenders who were touched by the raider are also eliminated from the game. However, if the defending team catches the raider, they are eliminated instead.
After each raid, the teams switch roles, with the previously defending team becoming the raiding team and vice versa. The teams continue to alternate roles until one team loses all its players. If a raiding team earns points while having some players eliminated, they can revive a proportionate number of eliminated players.
A raider is allowed to return to their court without touching opponents, known as an “empty raid,” but a team cannot have two consecutive empty raids. Holding opponents by their clothes is not allowed, and hitting opponents’ faces or heads is prohibited.
Kabaddi is a physically active game that allows participants to channel their aggression and use strategic tactics without causing harm. It fosters teamwork, strategic planning, and quick decision-making. The game helps break down barriers and brings people together through a competitive and engaging experience.
Barrier adjustments: Kabaddi can be played by individuals of various abilities, except those with physical disabilities that prevent them from participating in physically demanding activities. However, accommodations can be made to allow individuals with physical disabilities to play, such as using wheelchairs for mobility or adapting the rules to cater to their abilities. For blind participants, verbal communication can be used to facilitate their involvement in the game.

Where can you play it: Outside on soft and flat ground
Game session description
The game begins with two teams facing each other, each team grabbing hold of one end of a strong rope. The teams position themselves on opposite sides of a marked line on the ground.
The game master explains the rules and objective of the game, which is to use teamwork and strength to pull the rope and bring it a certain distance in one direction, against the opposing team’s force.
To start, a test round is conducted, lasting about 2 minutes, allowing both teams to familiarize themselves with the technique and positioning.
Once the test round is completed, the game master announces the official start of the game. Both teams engage in intense pulling, using their collective strength and coordination to overpower the opposing team. The objective is to bring the rope over a designated line on the ground, indicating a successful pull in their team’s favor.
The game consists of multiple rounds, typically 3-10 rounds, with short pauses between rounds for teams to regroup, strategize, and catch their breath. Each round lasts about 1-2 minutes, depending on the level of competition.
The team that successfully pulls the rope the required distance or brings it closest to the designated line within the given time limit wins the round. The game continues with subsequent rounds until a certain number of rounds or a specific victory condition is reached.
Tug of War is a sport that promotes team spirit, communication, and physical strength. By engaging in the game, participants tackle social barriers by fostering camaraderie and cooperation. Additionally, the physical exertion involved in the game contributes to maintaining health and fitness.
Barrier adjustments: In order to include individuals with limb disabilities, additional ropes can be attached and linked between the main rope and the bodies of limbless individuals, allowing them to actively participate in the game and feel included in the team effort. This adaptation enables their engagement and enjoyment of the game while maintaining the essence of the sport.

Game title: Musical Chairs
Game master: Adrijana Sucic
Description: Players dance around a circle of chairs while the music plays, and when the music stops, they must find a chair to sit on; the player left without a chair is eliminated.
Required inventory: Chairs and music Duration: Around 30 minutes
Where can you play it: Inside
Game session description
The game starts by counting the number of players participating. One chair less than the number of players is arranged in a circle, with the chairs facing away from each other.
Once the chairs are set up, the game master starts the music. All the players begin dancing and moving around the chairs in a circle. The pace and style of the dancing can vary based on the preferences of the players.
When the music abruptly stops, all players must quickly find a chair and sit on it. The player who fails to find a chair and is left standing is eliminated from the game. One chair is then removed, and the next round begins with the remaining players.
The process is repeated for each round, with one chair being removed after every round. The game continues until there is only one player remaining who manages to secure a chair during the final round. This player is declared the winner of the game.
Musical Chairs is not only an entertaining game but also helps players develop important skills. It teaches participants to pay attention to the music, practice listening, and improve their reaction time. Additionally, the game provides a valuable lesson in dealing with disappointment, as players are eliminated when they are unable to find a chair.
Barrier adjustments: To accommodate individuals with physical disabilities, instead of using traditional chairs, the game can be modified by using comfortable and cushioned bean bags or lazy bags. This adaptation ensures that all players can participate without the risk of injury or discomfort, allowing everyone to enjoy the game on an equal playing field.

Game title: Kho Kho
Game master: Mohil Khona
Description: One team forms a wall while the other team’s runners try to pass through the wall without getting caught by the designated catcher. Required inventory: Tapes to mark the designated area
Duration: Anywhere between 20-30 minutes
Where can you play it: Can be played both outdoors and indoors, preferably outdoors
Game session description
The players divide themselves into two teams, each consisting of 7-10 players. One team becomes the catching team, while the other team becomes the running team.
The catching team forms a wall by standing one hand distance apart from each other, facing opposite sides. For example, one player will face north, and the players to their right and left will face south, creating a wall.
The running team sends three players who continuously run in a designated area and attempt to pass through the wall created by the catching team. The runners can use any strategy to pass through the wall without getting caught.
The designated catcher from the catching team tries to catch the runners. However, the catcher can only run in one direction. Once the catcher reaches the end of the wall, they can change direction and continue chasing the runners.
If the catcher feels that a player who is part of the wall is closer to a runner, they can pat that player on the back, making them the new catcher, and the person who was patted becomes part of the wall. This dynamic allows for rotation and keeps the game engaging.
The game continues for 10 minutes for each team, and the number of runners caught by the catching team is counted at the end. The team with the higher number of caught runners wins the round. Multiple rounds can be played to determine the overall winner.
Kho Kho not only promotes teamwork and coordination but also enhances physical fitness through competitive play. It encourages players to develop strategies to outmaneuver the catching team and pass through the wall successfully.

Game title: Tablici
Game master: Danilo Radjenovic
Description: A card game played by 2-4 people, where the objective is to pick up as many cards as possible by adding them up to reach a specific value.
Required inventory: A deck of 52 regular playing cards.
Duration: Until the whole deck is picked up between the players.
Where can you play it: The game can be played anywhere as long as there is space for people to sit in a circle (space is optional).
Game session description
One person shuffles the deck and deals 6 cards to each player. They then place 4 cards face-up on the table.
In an agreed-upon order, each player takes turns to pick up cards from the table by adding them up to reach a specific value. For example, if there are a 7 and a 6 on the table, and it’s your turn, you can pick up those cards with a Queen (which is worth 13) from your hand (7 + 6 = 13).
The cards in the deck range from 1 to 14. The Ace can be counted as both 1 and 11, the Jack is worth 12, the Queen is worth 13, and the King is worth 14. The cards with a value of Ace, 10, Jack, Queen, or King are all worth one point.
There are two exceptions to the scoring system: the 10 of Diamonds is worth 2 points, and the 2 of Clubs is worth 1 point.
The game continues until all the cards from the deck are picked up by the players.
After all the cards have been picked up, each player counts the cards that are worth points according to the rules mentioned above.
The player with the most points wins the game. If two players have the same number of points, the player with more cards in their deck wins.
Tablici is a fun and interactive game that is easy to learn, allowing players to socialize and banter with friends while playing. It is played with a small group of people, making it suitable for individuals with social anxiety who prefer a smaller gathering.

Description: It is a sport where two teams compete against each other to get to the finish line through islands while avoiding the “lava” floor.
Required inventory: Tape (to mark the start/finish line), materials (wood/cardboard) for safe “islands,” and planks for walking on.
Duration: The explanation takes around 5 minutes, the test round lasts about 5-10 minutes, each round takes approximately 5-8 minutes, and it is recommended to play 3 rounds to decide the winning team. The overall game takes roughly 40 minutes.
Where can you play it: The game can be played both indoors and outdoors, but precautions should be taken to ensure that wind does not blow away the islands.
Game session description
Set up the playing area by marking the start and finish lines using tape. The distance between the two lines can be adjusted based on available space and desired difficulty level.
Create “islands” using materials such as wood or cardboard. These islands should be placed strategically along the route between the start and finish lines. Ensure they are sturdy and stable.
Place planks between the islands, forming a pathway for the teams to walk on. The planks should be long enough to connect the islands and wide enough for a person to walk on safely.
Divide participants into two teams, each starting from the designated starting line.
Explain the rules of the game: Teams must find a strategy to reach the finish line by placing planks on which they can safely walk, avoiding the “lava” floor. Only the islands and planks are considered safe, and players must not touch/walk on the floor.
Start the test round to familiarize participants with the gameplay. Allow teams to practice placing planks, walking on them, and navigating between islands.
Begin the game by giving a signal. Teams race to reach the finish line by placing planks and stepping onto them, carefully navigating the islands. Teamwork, strategy, and speed are crucial to success.
Play multiple rounds to determine the winning team. Each round can have a different arrangement of islands and planks to increase the challenge.
At the end of each round, tally the number of players from each team who have crossed the finish line. The team with the most players across the finish line wins the round.
Repeat the rounds as desired to determine the overall winning team.
Barriers and adjustments:
Adjustments can be made for participants with physical disabilities. Ensure that the planks are flat so people in wheelchairs can safely navigate them. For blind players, they can be accompanied by another teammate on islands and planks, providing guidance and support.
Communication is essential, so participants should be encouraged to use verbal cues and clear instructions to aid those with hearing impairments or language barriers.
Safety precautions should be taken to prevent any accidents or injuries. Make sure the islands and planks are secure and stable, and the playing area is free from hazards.

Required inventory: Board, marker, paper, pen/pencil, and a cup or container to hold the words.
Duration: The explanation takes approximately 3 minutes. Each round lasts 1 minute, and the number of rounds can be based on the number of words in the cup.
Where can you play it: The game can be played both indoors and outdoors, but playing inside is generally more suitable.
Number of participants: At least 2 groups are needed, with each group consisting of 5 people, which is the most suitable number for this game. If there are more participants, for example, 20 people, they can be divided into 2 groups and then further divided into 2 subgroups, allowing for 2 games to be played simultaneously.
Game session description
Prepare the materials by setting up a board or a large sheet of paper and providing markers, pens, or pencils for drawing.
Write various words on individual pieces of paper and place them in a cup or container.
Divide the participants into groups of 5 people each. If there are more participants, create multiple groups.
Explain the rules of the game: One player from each group will take turns drawing a word from the cup without speaking or writing any letters or numbers. Their task is to visually represent the word through their drawing. The other group members will try to guess the word based on the drawing.
Start the game by selecting a player from the first group to draw. They randomly choose a word from the cup and begin drawing without speaking.
The remaining members of the first group observe the drawing and try to guess the word as quickly as possible. The player drawing can continue to make additional marks or gestures to provide hints.
Once a member of the first group guesses the word correctly or the time limit of 1 minute is reached, the round ends.
Record the number of correctly guessed words by the first group. Then, it’s the second group’s turn to select a player to draw and follow the same process.
Continue playing additional rounds by selecting new players from each group to draw.
At the end of all the rounds, tally the number of correctly guessed words for each group. The group with the highest score wins the game.
Barriers and adjustments:
People with comprehension difficulties, such as individuals with Down syndrome, can still participate in the game. They can rely on visual cues and the context of the drawing to make their guesses. Encourage inclusive participation and support from other group members.
Individuals with physical disabilities can participate by using adaptive drawing tools or assistive devices, as needed, to create their drawings.
If necessary, modifications can be made to the game rules or duration to accommodate different abilities and ensure everyone can participate and enjoy the activity.

Gather the players and explain the rules of the game. This includes the objective, roles, and gameplay mechanics. Allow participants to ask questions for clarification.
Assign each player their role by distributing the playing cards. Each player keeps their role secret from others.
Set up the seating arrangement with chairs in a circle or around a table, depending on preference.
The game consists of day and night phases. During the day phase, players discuss and analyze the behavior of others to figure out who the mafia might be. They can question each other, share suspicions, and present arguments.
At the end of the day phase, players vote to eliminate someone they suspect is the mafia. The player with the most votes is eliminated from the game and reveals their role.
The night phase begins, where specific roles can perform their actions. For example, the mafia members secretly choose a target to eliminate, the sheriff investigates a player’s role, and the doctor can protect someone from elimination.
The game continues with alternating day and night phases until one of the following conditions is met: a) All mafia members are eliminated, and the citizens win. b) The mafia outnumber the citizens, and the mafia wins.
Repeat the game for additional rounds, if desired, by redistributing the roles and cards.
Barriers and adjustments:
Social anxiety can be a barrier for some participants. Encourage an inclusive and supportive environment, where players can take their time to participate and express themselves comfortably.
The game promotes teamwork and unity among participants, as they need to work together to identify the mafia. Encourage communication and cooperation among players.

Duration: One round typically lasts around 10 minutes.
Where can you play it: The game can be played both indoors and outdoors, as long as there is enough space for participants to move freely.
Number of participants: The number of participants can vary, but there should be at least one ice person. The total number of participants will determine the number of ice people.
Game session description
Gather the participants and explain the rules of the game. Ensure everyone understands their roles and the objective.
Designate one or more participants as ice people. The number of ice people depends on the total number of participants. The remaining participants are the runners.
Choose a judge or a timekeeper to oversee the game and announce the start and end of each round.
When the judge says “start,” the ice people begin chasing and trying to catch the runners. The runners must avoid being caught and frozen by the ice people.
If a runner gets caught and touched by an ice person, they become frozen and must stay in place until they are freed by another runner.
The runners can free the frozen participants by passing between their legs. Once a frozen player is freed, they can resume running and avoiding the ice people.
The game continues until either all the runners are frozen (victory for the ice people) or the time limit of 10 minutes expires (victory for the runners).
If the runners successfully avoid being frozen by the end of the time limit, they win the round. Otherwise, the ice people win.
Optionally, you can play multiple rounds and rotate the roles of ice people among the participants for each round.
Barriers and adjustments:
The game is meant to be fun and active, providing an opportunity for participants to engage in physical activity.
Cultural barriers can be overcome by promoting inclusivity and respect among participants from different backgrounds.
Adjustments can be made based on the abilities and disabilities of participants. Modify the rules or provide accommodations to ensure that everyone can participate and enjoy the game.

Gather the participants and explain the rules of the game. Provide each group with paper and pen/pencil to write down the words/phrases.
Prepare a cup or container and fill it with slips of paper, each containing a word or phrase.
Divide the participants into groups, with each group forming a line or standing in a circle.
Choose one player from the first group to be the actor for the first round.
The actor picks a slip of paper from the cup, reads the word/phrase silently, and begins acting it out without speaking.
The other players in the group observe the actor’s actions and try to guess what word/phrase is being portrayed. They can shout out their guesses.
The actor continues acting until someone from their group guesses the correct word/phrase or until the time limit of 2 minutes is reached.
If the word/phrase is guessed correctly, the actor and the player who guessed correctly earn points for their team.
Rotate the role of the actor to the next player in line or in the circle for the next round.
Repeat the process for each group, allowing every player to have a chance to be the actor.
At the end of the game session, tally the points earned by each team to determine the winning group.
Barriers and adjustments:

Explain the rules of the game, including the objective, the use of blankets, and the scoring system. Emphasize the importance of teamwork and coordination.
Place the blankets a certain distance apart from each other, with each team standing behind their respective blanket.
Start the game by giving one team the ball. They should throw the ball towards the other team’s blanket, aiming to make it difficult for them to catch.
The receiving team must work together to catch the ball using their blanket. If they successfully catch it, they gain possession and can then throw it back to the opposing team.
If the receiving team fails to catch the ball, the throwing team scores a point. The ball should be returned to the throwing team, and the game continues with the teams switching roles.
Points can also be scored if the ball goes out of bounds, but if it touches the line, it does not count as a point.
The ball must cross the line at least at the blanket’s level for a point to be scored.

Game title: The Floor is Diva (Şarkılı Yerden Yüksek)
Game master: Enes Doğukan Kurnaz
Description: The Floor is Diva is a singing game with a twist of time pressure and catching/dodging elements. Participants must sing songs with a given letter or successfully dodge catchers while navigating an area designated as “lava.”
Required equipment: No inventory is needed to play the game.
Duration: The duration of the game can vary depending on the number of people, typically ranging from 10 to 20 minutes.
Location: The game can be played both indoors and outdoors, as long as there is at least a 30-meter square empty space.
Number of participants: The game can accommodate any number of participants, but it is recommended to have two teams facing each other.
Game session description
Divide the participants into two teams and position them facing each other, with a designated area between them marked as “lava.”
Explain the rules of the game to the participants. The objective is to survive each round by either singing a song with a given letter or successfully dodging the catchers.
Choose a letter, and each participant must sing a song that starts with that letter within a given time limit. Participants take turns singing, and if someone fails to sing a song in time or sings a song that doesn’t start with the designated letter, they become catchers.
The catchers’ task is to tag other participants while they are singing or moving through the designated area. If a participant is tagged by a catcher, they become a catcher as well.
Participants who are not catchers must navigate the “lava” area by jumping, stepping on objects, or finding creative ways to avoid being caught. Singing songs can also provide immunity against being caught by catchers.
Rounds can continue with different letters, and the game ends when either all participants become catchers or a predetermined number of rounds have been played.
At the end of the game, the team with the most remaining participants who have not been caught wins.
Barriers and adjustments:
The Floor is Diva provides a fun and interactive way to break the ice and introduce each other to new songs.
The game aims to break social barriers and eliminate discrimination, as it can be enjoyed by people of any nation or age.
The game can be inclusive for people with physical disabilities, such as those with vision impairments or amputated legs. They can participate by focusing on singing to survive the round, while the catchers keep an eye on them.
Individuals with hearing impairments or the inability to speak would find it challenging to participate fully in this game. Alternative adaptations or other games may be more suitable for their inclusion.
Note: It’s important to consider the specific needs and abilities of individuals with disabilities and make appropriate adjustments to ensure their full participation and enjoyment of the game.

Game title: Fake it Take it (Fake Atmaca)
Game master: Enes Doğukan Kurnaz
Description: Fake it Take it is a football game that incorporates funny moves and tactics while passing the ball. Participants aim to fake out others with their moves and reactions, while the objective is to avoid falling for fakes and successfully receive the ball. The game is played in an outdoor area with sufficient space.
Required equipment: A football is needed to play the game.
Duration: The duration of the game depends on the number of participants and can range from 5 to 20 minutes.
Location: The game is played in an outdoor area with enough space for participants to move around comfortably.
Number of participants: The game can accommodate any number of participants. It is typically played in a circle, and everyone plays for themselves.
Game session description
Gather the participants in a circle formation in the outdoor area.
Explain the rules of the game to the participants. The objective is to pass the ball to others while faking out opponents with funny moves and tactics.
Start the game by passing the ball to any participant in the circle. The receiver must be alert and try to avoid falling for fakes from other participants.
If a participant reacts to a fake without receiving the ball, they are out of the game for that round. The circle gets tighter each round as participants are eliminated.
The game continues with the remaining participants passing the ball, faking out opponents, and trying to avoid falling for fakes themselves.
The game ends when there is only one participant left, who is declared the winner.
Barriers and adjustments:
Fake it Take it provides a non-violent and fun way to introduce people to football moves, as well as an opportunity for experienced players to relax and showcase their skills.
The game aims to eliminate economic and social barriers, as well as discrimination, by creating an inclusive and enjoyable environment.
To enhance inclusivity, based on feedback from George, Danilo, and Christina, participants can use their hands instead of their feet to pass the ball. This adjustment makes the game more accessible to individuals with cultural barriers against football or people with amputated legs.
Additionally, a time component can be added, requiring participants to be more active during the game. Participants can also incorporate a word association element by saying a word from a given topic (e.g., “Fruits”) each time they pass the ball. Repetition of the same word or failure to come up with a word within the given time can be an elimination factor.
While these adjustments make the game funnier and more inclusive, individuals with paralysis who are unable to pass a ball may face limitations in fully participating in this game.
Note: It’s essential to consider individual abilities and needs when adapting games to ensure inclusivity and provide alternative options for participants who may face physical limitations.

Game title: Heart Pulse (Albina)
Description: Heart Pulse is a game that involves transferring a pulse or signal through palming the hand from one person to another until it reaches the leader, who then takes the flag or staff. The game can be played outdoors in a spacious area.
Required equipment: Two clothes or flags are needed for this game.
Duration: One round with 20 participants lasts approximately 35 minutes.
Location: The game can be played in an outdoor area with enough space for participants to move around comfortably.
Number of participants: The participants are divided into two teams. If there are 20 people, each team will consist of 10 players. One person keeps the flags, and another person is responsible for transferring the pulse to ensure fair play.
Game session description
Divide the participants into two teams and form them into rows facing each other.
Select one person from each team to hold the flags or clothes.
The leader, who is responsible for initiating the game, stands at the front of their respective team.
The leader starts the game by either giving a signal or saying “start.” Alternatively, a time limit of 30 seconds to 1 minute can be set for each round.
As soon as the game begins, the person in the first row of each team starts transferring the pulse or signal to the next person in line by palming their hand.
Each person in the row transfers the pulse to the person beside them until it reaches the leader at the end of the row.
The leader, upon receiving the pulse, quickly takes the flag or staff and holds it up to signal that their team has successfully completed the transfer.
After the round, the person who took the flag joins the end of their team’s row, ensuring that everyone gets a chance to lead and compete.
The game continues with subsequent rounds, allowing different participants to lead and transfer the pulse.
The game concludes when all participants have had the opportunity to lead, or a predetermined number of rounds have been completed.
Barriers and adjustments:
Heart Pulse helps improve leadership skills and overcomes barriers for individuals who may be hesitant to lead by speaking. They can lead without speaking, fostering alternative modes of communication.
Participants with disabilities, such as those in wheelchairs, can still participate in the game if their arms are accessible for use, even without speaking or hearing.
The game promotes problem-solving, critical thinking, focus-building, and team organization.
However, individuals who are unable to see face challenges in participating in this game due to its reliance on visual cues and hand-to-hand transfers.
Note: When adapting games, it’s important to consider the abilities and needs of individual participants to ensure inclusivity. Making adjustments and providing alternative options can help create a more inclusive environment.
