Description

On their own, with family or with a group of friends, kids find something to interest and challenge them in "The Kids Summer Games Book". From an outdoor scavenger hunt, obstacle course or warm-weather Olympics to indoor games such as charades, slapjack and bingo, this fully illustrated treasury of games offers families years of enjoyment.


KidSource OnLine Book Review

This book contains a summer of fun for you and your kids! From solitaire play to large groups, from land-based to water-based activities, this book has the answers. Last summer, we used it to find games for everyday play (indoor and out), a birthday party whose guests ranged from 4 to 8 years old, and a corporate picnic. Every time we looked in it, we found a way to have some fun and keep ourselves and the kids happy on a hot summer day.
