Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indoor Games: For Children and Young People Hide and Seek is a game that will remain prime favourite as long as youth and high spirits last. The players divide into sides, and one half hide themselves away in any available nook or corner. At a given signal the search begins, the game being for the players who are in hiding to get home before they are found and caught by any one of the opposite side. Instead of a signal being given them, the opposite side, or hunters, are sometimes told they can begin to search after they have counted up to a hundred. This is really the better way, as a sharp hunter can tell from the sound of the signal the whereabouts of the players in hiding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Games for Boys Today there is a wide-spread and very whole some interest in recreation. No longer is the problem that of stirring up the interest of the American people. They already have it. The need now is for a varied and attractive recreation program. We need original suggestions and pro grams that are practicable, clearly defined, and easily understood and adaptable to the great out doors. We have been inclined in the past to do too much indoors. We must try all that we can to cultivate a love on the part of the American youth for out-of-door life. Our games must be simple, happy, social, and yet physically active. We must find activities adaptable to age, strength, and sex. We must learn how to handle large numbers. Our games must not be over-fatiguing. They must have rich psychological content so that they will be in tensely interesting and compelling. We need those forms of physical entertainment which te quire very little in the way of equipment.

Download or read book My Book of Indoor Games Classic Reprint written by Clarence Squareman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Book of Indoor Games That is the guiding purpose of the author. The reader will find in this book a collection of old and present day games. The student of Play has long realized that there are no new games, that all our games of today are built on the old timers. The purpose of My Book of Indoor Games is to furnish amuse ment, entertainment and to be the means of sociability. So very often the question comes up - What shall we do In many cases this book serves only as a reminder, the games and parlor tricks are well known but cannot be recalled at the critical moment. A combination, such as this, of the best of the old-fashioned games and a carefully compiled list of the games of today will furnish much help to the young in their search of entertainment and amusement. But the book will be equally useful to grownups. The author has seen staid, respectable people play Lubin Loo with as much zest and spirit as the youngest group of children. All of us have played Going to Jerusalem. The spirit must be there; there is nothing so contagious as the spirit of play.

Everyone must remember his number. The center player does not have a number, and just gives his name. After everyone has called off, the action starts. The center player calls out two numbers. He may call out, 5 and 12. Then the boys who are numbers 5 and 12 quickly change places. While they are doing this, they must yell their own first name. At the same time, the center player yells out his first name and tries to get one of the empty chairs. If the center player gets to one of the empty chairs first he takes the chair and the number of the boy who had the chair. The boy who lost the chair then becomes the center player and calls out the next numbers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] combination of history and meaning behind favorite playground games and the verses . . . virtually guaranteed to make you laugh and sing” (Fiona Shoop, author of How to Deal in Antiques). This delightful book records favorite childhood games and recalls forgotten rhymes. With more children suffering from obesity, Susan Brewer looks at the social games we used to play from skipping to chase games that used up our energy during recess. Instead of costly computer games, we used rhyming games, played Jacks, and showed our balancing skills during competitive games of hopscotch. A charming book, full of anecdotes and nostalgia for how we remember our favorite place at school—the playground.

Download or read book Stick and Pea Plays written by Charles Stuart Pratt and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stick-and-Pea Plays: Pastimes for the Children's Year What sort of play is the best sort of house-play for the child? If I could ask the mothers and fathers and teachers who think about such things, I should expect a reply somewhat like this: The best sort of house-play for the child is a play the child takes to naturally; a play the child can play largely by itself; a play that calls out the child's activities, trains the hand, educates the eye, exercises the judgment, stirs the imagination - and gives pleasure all the while; a play that yields something to take, to hold, to keep, to use; a play that leads readily to talks, and stories, and songs, with a beautiful lesson at the heart of them. Perhaps the first play-instinct of the child, when the little brain begins to think and the little hands to do, is in the making of mimic objects and the make-believe use of them. But the child is not merely imitative. The child is a Robinson Crusoe and a "Swiss Family Robinson" all in one. The child adapts the thing at hand to the need of the moment, to any end desired.
