Kid games
Here are scans of some of the prototypes of the games my kids are making in the class I teach. Remember these kids are 6 and 7 years old and some of their ideas are really brilliant. It's also interesting to note the different strategies they apply in developing their games, some write more some draw more. The last one is by a little girl in my class and she has a completely developed robust rule system for a game that actually sounds fun, and it fits on one page!
A soccer board game (very cool)
A game like chess but with less pieces
only one piece can capture the "king"
and only one piece can kill this "king killer"
also the board spaces will be hexagons.
A game called "quick" in which players
try to get through a forest as fast as they can
without getting eaten by a bear.

Kids rule!
This just shows the dedication, and the long procedure that goes into making a good game. Not only was the game still in progress, but he brought the game to the gaming club so that more people could beta test the game to make sure the game was balanced.
Afterwards, I told him about my game and he gave me a few good pointers that I tried implementing for my game (mainly about time constraint). Overall, it was a good learning experience for me and a grand display of creativeness and dedication of the process of making a game.
