I recieved the book tag toss and run and actually knew almost all the games. These are great games for kids (and adults) to play. They teach a lot more than just fun.I think young people have too much time on the computer and their fine motor skills are great, but they learn how to play with other kids and do it fairly. They also learn co-ordination, hand eye etc. and get,for the most part, fresh air! I would recomend this book to all.

Great book for remembering the games we played as children (before electronics). My grandkids like to play them...at least for awhile, which gives them some exercise and powers the imagination.
