This review is from: Games Children Play (Paperback)

The subtitle for this book is "How games and sport help children develop." But I find it's much more than this! It is also a unique resource of tried and tested games for all ages levels. The introduction deals with tips for presenting games to children, how to cope with difficulties (such as bullying) and equipment. The bulk of the book is broken into three parts for different age ranges (3-7 year olds, 7-12 year olds and teenagers). Then the three sections are further broken down into game type: music, movement, beanbag games, water games, skipping games, playground games and so much more! Although this book is part of the Rudolf Steiner Education Series and written especially to address Waldorf schooling, it would be a valuable guide for every teacher, movement specialist and parent. I've never seen a better book on this subject!
