5.0 out of 5 stars
Tons of fun for kids and adults!,
By Priscilla Stafford (Yokohama, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stop! the Watch: A Book of Everyday, Ordinary, Anybody Olympics with Other (Klutz) (Paperback)
I have always loved any book from KLUTZ, always entertaining and tons of fun for both kids and adults! "Stop! the Watch: A Book of Everyday, Ordinary, Anybody Olympics" has lots of fun activities to do with a friend. The pictures are hilarious to look at and the instructions are easy to follow. The stop watch (batteries included) that comes with the book is easy to handle and easy to use.Do you think you can set a world's record? Well, let's see! The book includes 73 events you can do, separated into four categories: Entertainingly fun, here are a few examples of the kind of crazy activities you might try your hand at beating the world record of: *Count by 6s until 12 seconds have elapsed. Exactly.* *Sing the first verse of "Jingle Bells", alternating each word between partners.*

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun, creative, active and even educational!,
By Jane James "homeschoolmum" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stop! the Watch: A Book of Everyday, Ordinary, Anybody Olympics with Other (Klutz) (Paperback)
This book is really great. It comes with a sturdy stopwatch that you use to time yourself. The various suggestions for "everyday Olympics" are ordinary to unusual. This is to be done with a friend. The first one is - get this - timing how fast you can start and stop the stopwatch! Write the word with "banana" with dental floss as quickly as you can (and legibly), putting your jackets on backwards and zipping them up. flip a coin until you get 8 heads or tails in a row, etc. Some of these are really fun and a lot of them are active. My kids really like this book.

Stop! the Watch,
By
This review is from: Stop! the Watch: A Book of Everyday, Ordinary, Anybody Olympics with Other (Klutz) (Paperback)
ISBN 1878257528 - A 1993 recipient of the Parents' Choice Award. The reader review of this book suggesting it's perfect for long car rides should probably be disregarded. The Events are almost all too physical to do in a car!
Funny - and surprisingly challenging - events to compete in, 73 in all, make for great it's-too-cold-outside or rainy day entertainment. Parents may well find themselves losing to the kids, without losing on purpose, because these are not events most people will have spent any time practicing. From Floss Writing to the One Foot Marathon, everyone will find their niche and have fun doing it! If you happen to get a copy that doesn't have a stopwatch, there is a free catalog available from Klutz listed on the last page of the book. You can order a watch, other books from Klutz and lots of other fun stuff. - AnnaLovesBooks
