Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Hundred Games for Children: For the Home, Classroom, Playlot, Playground Many books of games have been written, but in most cases to find the game itself it is necessary to ferret through pages of approach. The Physical Education approach describes the particular muscle groups affected by the game, Group Workers describe the effect the game will have on personality interaction, the Social Worker uses the game as a therapy device. This book was compiled not for any of these reasons, but rather that it might serve as a useful guide to people who use games for the sheer fun of them - the teacher, mother, recreation director or play supervisor. For the users' convenience the games have been listed in several categories; games for tots, for the six to ten year olds, the ten to fourteen group, teens, classroom games, quiet games and games for two players. It is not intended that those under one grouping cannot be played by another group. The game grows with the player. "Cops and Robbers" for instance, is played by the six to ten group but the same game with faster, rougher action might well be played by the teen-agers. Our thanks are gratefully tendered to the members of the staff of the Edmonton Recreation Commission for their valuable help in making possible this collection. We especially thank Mr. John Farina, Superintendent, and Mr. A. V. Pettigrew, Supervisor of Playgrounds and Centers for making available to us their files of games and activities, Miss S. Fleet for many of the childrens' games, and Mr. J. Reilly, Athletics Supervisor, for his contribution of several of the more active games. We also thank Mrs. F. D. Radcliffe of Vancouver for many of her "tried and proven" classroom games, and we thank "Dad" for his generous encouragement. We wish to express the hope that this book will bring as many pleasant hours to its reader and user as it has brought to its author.
