MONGOLIAN URBAN GAMES
MONGOLIAN URBAN GAMES

Summary/Abstract: Game has easily adjusted itself and the pattern shown in everyday life to the tempo dictated by the life cycle of the Mongols, who are nowadays still nomadising and live on the steppes. Through the playful mechanisms of copying children could unperceptibly learn the hardest works around the house (yurt), that were necessary for the existence. In case of nomadic peoples the exact border between game and work became blurred: it is easy to change from work to play and vice-versa.
