Book SynopsisEngland, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Inside, Outside, Donkeys’ Tails Were you the local Elastics champion growing up? Did you spend every waking moment obsessively playing Kerbs with your best mates? Have you never had more fun than racing to Tip the Can? Then this is the book for you. Packed with classics like Marbles, Conkers, Bulldog, and Hopscotch, party games like Blind Man's Buff and Snap Apple, and rainy day fun with Battleship, Murder in the Dark, and paper Fortune-Tellers. ‘What you need’, how to play, handy tips, ‘risk’ ratings and stories of great craic will whisk you back to those carefree days of childhood and, if your creaky old bones are up to it, inspire you to get out with the kids and revel in those games all over again. Coming, coming, ready or not, keep your place or you’ll be … caught! Trade Reviewa wonderful trip down memory lane. Readers are prompted to use the collection as inspiration … a laudable aim indeed, and a technique that will likely be successful in passing on these traditional games to very young children * Evening Echo *an asset to any home or school … an excellent family present -- Irish Independenteasy to follow instructions for childhood games … I think this book would definitely encourage children to engage in some physical activity away from the television! … a great Christmas gift or stocking filler * InTouch Magazine *this charming guide to childhood games will bring back a flood of happy memories, and inspire you to share a piece of your past with a new generation. If you don’t, then you should read it for new ideas – after all, you’re never too old for your first game of Slaps! McGann explains each game in beautifully clear language, and even provides strategy tips (don’t get distracted by the funky tunes during musical chairs – keep your eyes on the prize at all times) and physical risk assessments (Concentration has a 0/10 chance of injury, Red Rover has a 10/10 probability). Her sense of joy is contagious, and her wry humour had me laughing out loud in between bouts of nostalgia. Simple diagrams accompany any games that need them, and the black and white photos of children playing are genuinely heartwarming.

Book SynopsisIt’s an old-time playtime—nothing electronic, just games that have stood the test of time! They help children build skills like hand-eye coordination, problem solving, and simply learning how to be a good team player and work well with others. But most of all, they’re lots of fun. This collection of timeless games guarantees kids a great time—by themselves, with a group of friends, or with their family. And best of all, no batteries are required . . . and very little equipment, too.There’s Hopscotch and Dodgeball, Four Square and Stoopball, Horse and One Old Cat (a ball game similar to baseball, but with only one base). All you need is your brain—and occasionally a paper and pen—to play games like Association, the Minister’s Cat, and Dumb Crambo (which is similar to Charades, but has a rhyming twist). A rainy day with no pals around would be just right to make Hand Shadows, walk on Can Stilts, or practice Jacks. Don’t forget card games like Crazy Eights and Rummy, Crab and Sack Races, and old favorites like Duck, Duck, Goose and Red Rover. And because no parent likes to hear the whine of Are we there yet? there’s a whole chapter of games for the car!Black-and-white illustrations keep the old-timey feel while getting kids excited to play. Simple instructions explain how many people can play, what you need, the object of the game, and the basic rules. For extra entertainment, there are also lots of fun facts about the history of the games sprinkled throughout. This book is so packed with activities that kids will want to turn off their computers, shut down their PlayStations and Xboxes, and get playing the old-fashioned way!
