Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4 Up—While working with youngsters, Strother found that when he mentioned cherished games from his youth, today's children had no idea what he was talking about. This book challenges boys and girls to get up, get outside, and have fun. It outlines more than 100 games, each at different activity levels set by the amount of physical exertion required. "Kick the Can," "Cowboys and Indians," "Mother, May I?" "Crack the Whip," and "I Spy" are just a few of the activities explained. Each game discusses the number of players, ages, time allotted, and type of playing field, followed by a brief description of equipment, start-up, object of the game, and how to play. Boxed comments from the author include special instructions or a memory from his childhood. He also lists other ways that the game can be played. The easy-to-read, easy-to-follow format will provide hours of imaginative play for all of those who are willing to try. An excellent resource for parents, teachers, and activity directors and even for children themselves.—Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA
