In this book we visit 15 different countries or continents to find out what games and fun activities the local kids like to entertain themselves with.
Children like to play above all else, either alone or with friends. But how and what they play varies from place to place. Would you like to know about games played in Africa, New Zealand, South America, or Vietnam? This book will show you that some games are pretty much the same wherever you go, while others are completely different and unfamiliar.
In each chapter a local kid poses as a guide who introduces us to the typical and most popular games and plays of certain country or culture. Kids will learn that every nation likes to have fun in their own way and that difference is what makes each culture special.
