101 Playground Games is one of nine titles in the Teach to Inspire series.
NEW 101 Playground Games will be published in November 2008.
This collection of active and engaging games will enliven and enrich any playtime and is ideal for teachers, lunchtime supervisors and any adult involved with children at play.
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. 101 Playground Games recognises the importance of children's experiences in the school playground and provides a practical toolkit of ideas to promote lively and enjoyable games. It draws on traditional games and also introduces a wealth of new ones.
The book includes:
- chasing and catching games
- skipping games and rhymes
- singing and dancing games
- parachute games
- quiet games
- circle games
- cooperative games
- games from around the world.
