Types of Government - Civics for kids. Gully cricket is popular amongst young boys in India. They just troop into a street with little traffic outside their homes and start hitting the ball with the bat. Now, there are a number of ways in which this can be organized. When only one boy brings a bat, he rules. He keeps batting even when he gets out and he lets his close friends also bat or as long as they want. If he wants to end the game, he simply walks away with the bat. Sometimes all the cricket equipment – bat, ball, stump, gloves, etc is contributed by all. Sometimes there is a coach. If we think of these teams as forms of government and of course you have to imagine that there are extremely many boys playing in the street, then the ‘bossy bully’ is a dictatorship; ‘just friends’ is a socialist government and or could even be a democracy depending on how you look at it; a ‘big brother’ is totalitarian and if one of the players owns the street where the boys are playing, it would be a monarchy.
