Book Synopsis

'Please, can we play games now?' is a frequent plea in the early childhood classroom. Children explore and relate to their world through play, and something magical happens when a caring adult dons the cloak of playful lightheartedness. A regular offering of appropriate games in the early childhood curriculum can create a powerful atmosphere for healthy development. Between teacher and children a safe harbor springs up -- a place where trust, interest, joy, and an enthusiasm for learning are kindled.

Rudolf Steiner expressed many times that children thrive in an atmosphere of joy, warmth, and love. He also stressed the importance of imitation in early childhood. The Waldorf early childhood classroom strives to be a place where children want to follow their teacher’s worthy example.

This book is a wonderful collection of traditional and original verses, songs and games from the author's forty years of experience in early childhood education. Perfect for circle time or home play, these games will nourish children's body, soul and spirit.
