Book Overview
From Freeze Tag to Double Dutch, this bright and lively companion to Sidewalk Chalk presents some of the best traditional street and sidewalk activities ever. For every game, you'll find out how many people can join the fun, plus instructions, tactics, and tips. Charming childlike drawings in crayon, plus diagrams, capture a sense of joy and illustrate the rules of play, too. A kid alone can try Seven Up, for example, as long as there's a ball and a wall. Do Shoebox Bowling; enjoy some Sardines (a kind of reverse hide-and-seek where "It" hides and the group searches); and have fun with that old favorite, Kick the Can. Check out how limber everyone is with Limbo, a Jamaican dance-game. Spin around and leap over a twirling rope in Whirligig. The good times will keep on going!

There are a multitude of reasons to get this book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I've recommended this book in my latest book for parents, Kindergarten Simplified, for the following reasons: *Your kids can learn to play games that cost very little. *They will learn games that can be played OUTSIDE. *Once they learn the rules of the games, they can learn to self-regulate and negotiate with others without the help of adults. *They will get some exercise instead of vegging on the couch. *They will be able to make friends by knowing how to play a game that other children will enjoy learning to play.
