This classic games book offers a standby resource for parents, teachers, forest school educators  and play leaders. The games are  tried and tested. They draw on worldwide Steiner - Waldorf  creative education, where a ‘child’s work is their play.’  Child growth  is explored and how this is helped by a rich treasury of action, finger, circle, clapping, beanbag, chasing,  water, tumbling, story  and singing  games. There are both traditional favourites and also new games created to engage  with digitally challenging behaviour.

Reviews for Games Children Play II: Games to develop social skills, teamwork, balance and coordination237 Fun Games for Groups and Families

What a delightful collection! The wide range of games are described so clearly that it’s easy to fund something to play with a lucky child or group of children. And then you’ll want to play something else, just because it so much fun to play and sing.    Rahima Baldwin Dancy, author, You are Your Childs First Teacher
