Many of the games in the book require lengthy preparation time, however once completed, they can become part of the routine learning process. I have other library games books and I found this one to be better, covering all grades in a K-6 situation, equally and with design for organized skill learning.

As a school librarian I am always looking for quick little games to play with the classes when they come into the library and this book was just what I was looking for. I chose several for different grade levels and adapted them to our little school library. I am so happy I found it.
