What is The Art of Stone Skipping and Other Fun Old-time Games : Stoopball, Jacks, String Games, Coin Flipping, Line Baseball, Jump Rope, and More about?

It's an old-time playtime'nothing electronic, just games that have stood the test of time! They help children build skills like hand-eye coordination, problem solving, and simply learning how to be a good team player and work well with others. But most of all, they're lots of fun. This collection of timeless games guarantees kids a great time'by themselves, with a group of friends, or with their family. And best of all, no batteries are required ... and very little equipment, too. There's Hopscotch and Dodgeball, Four Square and Stoopball, Horse and One Old Cat (a ball game similar to baseball, but with only one base). All you need is your brain'and occasionally a paper and pen'to play games like Association, the Minister's Cat, and Dumb Crambo (which is similar to Charades, but has a rhyming twist). A rainy day with no pals around would be just right to make Hand Shadows, walk on Can Stilts, or practice Jacks. Don't forget card games like Crazy Eights and Rummy, Crab and Sack Races, and old favorites like Duck, Duck, Goose and Red Rover. And because no parent likes to hear the whine of "Are we there yet'" there's a whole chapter of games for the car! Black-and-white illustrations
