101 Playground Games is a collection of active and engaging school playground games for children. It offers enriching activities and traditional games to encourage active learning and social development among young children at playtime.
The school playground plays a crucial role in developing all aspects of children’s behaviour and interpersonal learning, and yet there is a growing awareness that children today do not play in the same sociable ways as previous generations. This fully updated second edition draws on traditional games and introduces a wealth of new ones, including:
• traditional games
• tag games
• chasing and catching games
• singing and dancing games
• skipping games and rhymes
• circle games
• parachute games
• quiet games
• co-operative games
• games from around the world
This resource provides a practical toolkit of ideas to promote lively and enjoyable games and provides clear instructions for adults on how to organise the games. It is a book that will make any playtime a richer experience for all.
