Whether you're supporting literacy in a school, a community center, or at home, this book is for you. Designed for children and adults alike, it can be used anywhere from bustling cities to remote villages. Inside are participatory, low-tech games built from simple materials you can make or gather locally. Each one includes clear, step-by-step instructions, creative variations, and tips for adapting to different group sizes, languages, and scripts. These games are more than just fun. They are powerful, hands-on tools for building essential literacy skills through lively, engaging learning.

Literacy Games is a practical resource for teacher trainers, classroom teachers, and communities supporting literacy in their own languages. Its adaptable activities also make it a valuable guide for ESL/EFL teachers, homeschoolers, and educators working in dominant languages.
