Review
"This book is so practical and easy-to-use that virtually any teacher can pick it up and say, 'Aha! I can use that!' Each of the twenty-five games is solidly tied to course learning objectives. And busy teachers will love the step-by-step approach-the book gives not only the rationale for using games, but also the guidelines for employing them."

Home Schoolers' Delight,
By A Customer
This review is from: Primary Games: Experiential Learning Activities for Teaching Children K-8 (Paperback)
I picked this book because I thought it might help me home school tutor my son. Boy, was I right!!This book gives me many delightful ways to tutor my son in any topic. The games are simple to follow and easy to adapt -- if I can adapt them, anyone can. And, my son loves the games. Now, he looks forward to sitting down and learning with me. I would recommend this book to ANY parent who home schools or tutors on a part-time or full-time basis. Imagine, having a lesson that your child WANTS to sit-down and learn with you! Thank you, authors.
