  This book is a must-have for those with kids. Lots of games are ones adults would love as well. Does anyone else have fond memories of playing kick the can with entire neighborhoods of kids? Well, I do and I'm hoping with this book we can inspire more play and less TV time.

  These games are easy to play with minimal preparations. This book would be great year round for rainy days or birthday parties. This is a great book to have to get the kids out from in front of the television/video games. The only danger in this book is having too much fun!

  This would be a great book to inspire fun games around the house (though quite a few require a small group of children). But it would also be a great way for parent and children to bond.

  This is a great book and one this reviewer intends to keep and use with my next day or evening with friends, family, and acquaintances. Eating and drinking are great at a get-together but adding one of these games will provide a memorable time for all! Unique and very nicely done

  I really love that the book, Play These Games, not only occupies my kids, the games are almost all educational and the kids have to look for the items needed to play. This forces them to act a team and work together.

  In all Swain shows that there are many ways to play, using lots of what we already have around us to create new games. As well, with almost everyone of these games you can use Swain’s ideas as a starting point to create your own games or allow the kids to improvise off of the game
