Children want to be sports stars, teachers and video game designers when they grow up.

That's according to research carried out by Calpol among 6 to 12 year olds.

The data shows that growing up to become a teacher ranks as the number one thing girls want to do at 33% - while 22% want to pursue more traditional careers like becoming a doctor or a nurse.

Meanwhile, 45% of boys dream of being a professional athlete and just 17% of boys want to be a fireman.

The research also showed that twice as many children prefer to stay indoors and play computer games instead of going outside. 

Classic games like Hide and Seek are dying out.
