101 Playground Games

A collection of active and engaging games for children.

Over the last 10 years Therese Hoyle has run Positive Playground Programmes in schools throughout the UK and New Zealand; this book draws on her hands-on experience.

Well-researched, it 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, including:

• Chasing and catching games
• Skipping games and rhymes
• Singing and dancing games
• Parachute games
• Quiet games
• Circle games
• Co-operative games
• Games from around the world.

This comprehensive collection provides clear instructions for adults on how to organise the games and is a resource that will make any playtime a richer experience for all.
