5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great!, April 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Teaching Your Child Concentration: A Playskool Guide (Paperback)

This book incorporates lots of games and activities for all ages, even including games that older and younger children can all play together. Many of the games do not have a "winner" or "loser," which eliminates much of the competition that can create havoc in a household. Most of the games and activities require very little (if any) monetary outlay, but keep the kids engaged. Many of the games are active ones as well, and can be done indoors or out. It is a great book to use on a rainy day, or if you are looking for games to play while travelling, waiting at the doctor's office, etc. It is written in a very organized and orderly fashion. I found it easy to find games for a particular age group, or a particular type of game. I only wish that I had as much imagination as the authors!
