“[A] combination of history and meaning behind favorite playground games and the verses . . . virtually guaranteed to make you laugh and sing” (Fiona Shoop, author of How to Deal in Antiques). This delightful book records favorite childhood games and recalls forgotten rhymes. With more children suffering from obesity, Susan Brewer looks at the social games we used to play from skipping to chase games that used up our energy during recess. Instead of costly computer games, we used rhyming games, played Jacks, and showed our balancing skills during competitive games of hopscotch. A charming book, full of anecdotes and nostalgia for how we remember our favorite place at school—the playground.

This new book offers an accessible guide to movement games with children ages three upwards. These games are all tried and tested with children and are the basis for the author's extensive teacher training work. The book also explores children's personal development and how this is expressed in movement, play, and games. Each game contains a description of why this game is helpful and needed at a particular age. In this way it offers a fascinating insight into the threshold experiences of childhood. Each game is clearly and simply described, with diagrams or drawings. There are separate chapters with games for different age groups that deal with child development questions. There are games for mixed ages, playground games, and water games to help with swimming. This book will be a must for every teacher, both as a standby and as an essential classroom resource. It also offers an enjoyable way to enhance teamwork, coordination, spatial awareness, and insight into child development, and games that are both fun and therapeutic.
