So many of the games children used to play are being forgotten, so this book is a great idea to ensure future generations rediscover the fun their parents and grandparents had ... parents and grandparents will find it nostalgic and children will love to see what previous generations enjoyed

Childhood memories fantastic book #redrover @OBrienPress
Kevin Dundon this charming guide to childhood games will bring back a flood of happy memories, and inspire you to share a piece of your past with a new generation. If you don't, then you should read it for new ideas - after all, you're never too old for your first game of Slaps! McGann explains each game in beautifully clear language, and even provides strategy tips (don't get distracted by the funky tunes during musical chairs - keep your eyes on the prize at all times) and physical risk assessments (Concentration has a 0/10 chance of injury, Red Rover has a 10/10 probability). Her sense of joy is contagious, and her wry humour had me laughing out loud in between bouts of nostalgia. Simple diagrams accompany any games that need them, and the black and white photos of children playing are genuinely heartwarming. A practical instruction manual, comedic slice of life, and important piece of social history all rolled into one, Red Rover is a flawless execution of a great idea that I can't recommend enough
Children's Books Ireland easy to follow instructions for childhood games ... I think this book would definitely encourage children to engage in some physical activity away from the television! ... a great Christmas gift or stocking filler

an asset to any home or school ... an excellent family present
Irish Independent a wonderful trip down memory lane. Readers are prompted to use the collection as inspiration ... a laudable aim indeed, and a technique that will likely be successful in passing on these traditional games to very young children
