Were you the local Elastics champion growing up? Did you spend every waking moment obsessively playing Kerbs with your best mates? Have you never had more fun than racing to Tip the Can? Then this is the book for you. Packed with classics like Marbles, Conkers, Bulldog, and Hopscotch, party games like Blind Man's Buff and Snap Apple, and rainy-day fun with Battleship, Murder in the Dark, and paper Fortune-Tellers.
'What you need', how to play, handy tips, 'risk' ratings and stories of great craic will whisk you back to those carefree days of childhood and, if your creaky old bones are up to it, inspire you to get out with the kids and revel in those games all over again.
Coming, coming, ready or not, keep your place or you'll be... caught!

"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"
