Games for 1 player to 5 players, and even large groups, are clearly explained and provide endless opportunities for playful adventure. It's also a wonderful resource for learning about cultures and traditions from countries across the globe.
The exciting array of games includes:

- big party game Catch the Dragon's Tail (China)
- head-to-head Kolowis Awithlaknannai board game (Zuni Native American)
- hilarious Oonch Neech (a variation of Tag from Pakistan)
Additional sections give the background to classic games like Tag and Hide-and-seek and talk readers through making games of their own. Vibrant illustrations from Monica Andino carefully demonstrate the steps of the games whilst bringing to life the fun and joy they offer.
The possibilities are endless, and with this book, the fun will be, too!
