conversation from 2004[edit]

How does one decide which games belong in the sub-category of "Traditional" children's games, and which are just children's games? Aren't "I Spy" and "Musical Chairs" traditional? Is there really a need to distinguish between traditional and non-traditional games, and if so, wouldn't it make sense to tag the NON traditional games seperately? --Woggly 08:51, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I think a category "Nontraditional children's games" would be... weird. I think I Spy and Musical Chairs are indeed traditional, and should be recategorised. Children's games that are plainly not traditional perhaps could be subcategorised -- "Children's computer games", "Children's board games" etc. There could be overlap between these and the "Traditional" category but that's not a bad thing.

But why not just leave it "Children's games"? What is the added value of "traditional"? --Woggly 10:37, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I think the classification of traditional and nontraditional games is invalid because it is very difficult to draw the line between traditional and nontraditional. For example, computer games may be considered as traditional games in 20 years, though now they are not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Susanicas9 (talk • contribs) 16:50, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
