This book is a great tool- indoor and outdoor games, quiet and noisy, quick and time consuming, all ages. There is such a wide variety from which to choose. So many things to do with my granddaughters.

This book is a must have for teachers, and child care providers! It has been my mainstay resource for out of school care for over 10 years! The activities presented in this book are easily laid out and written in such away that and Early Childcare Practitioner can utilize the games at the appropriate developmental stage for the children in their care and Out of School Care practitioners can quickly learn and present new games to the children in there care quickly without anyone waiting and getting a case of the "twitches"

A Must Have! Without a doubt!

Overwhelmingly comprehensive collection of games for children ages 3-14, including card games, mind games, word games, sidewalk games, races, ball games, party games, road games, and more--all with easily understood instructions, suggested ages, and lists of materials needed. It's almost too much: the book is so huge and unwieldy, I wished for a smaller, thinner version to carry with me to schools, or perhaps that this collection were broken down into one volume for each category.

This is a good resource for parents, grandparents and early childhood & elementary teachers. The games included in this book will get children moving and will take them outdoors; perfect for summer time fun.
