4- "Dangerous games" of primary school keystage 2 pupils: an inventory in the service of a policy of awareness and prevention of the risks before secondary school by   - Mickaël Vigne, Laboratoire RECIFES (EA 4520), ESPE/Lille Nord de France

"Dangerous games" is, according to the many regional and national headlines, a phenomenon on the rise. However, no sociological surveys have been conducted on this topic. This article proposes a first quantitative and comparative approach about the knowledge and practice of these "games" played by the young between 6 and 15 years old. After the presentation of the different kinds of practice and some terminology questioning on the expression itself, we propose a reflection on these quite unusual physical practices. For example, can these "games" be the reflexion of an anxiety-provoking society? And this question leads to another reflection on our young pupils’awareness. Indeed, does awareness represent a risk of initiatory practice or does it really allow to limit potential risks?

Keywords : Sensibilisation, « jeux dangereux », jeu du foulard, violence, école, jeux d’apnée, awareness, "dangerous games", « jeu du foulard » (choking game), violence, school, apnea games..
