Reviews

Rules for drop the handkerchief, musical chairs, and red light, green light--all those games you played as a kid, plus a few you probably never heard of--are presented in this great compendium for parents, primary and elementary school teachers, and day-care providers. Brief notes on age appropriateness, equipment and player requirements, game objectives, etc., head generally clear-cut instructions, with plenty of cartoon illustrations, provided to help spell out play. The emphasis is on highly active amusements, but games that make use of fine motor skills and cognitive talents are also included. Stephanie Zvirin
