Authors Kim John Payne, Corey Weletzko and Valerie Baadh bring a wealth of material from their many years of teaching movement to young children. With over 140 illustrated games, this lively Handbook offers ways of organizing children’s games and gives the reader a full and fascinating insight into why each game is appropriate for a particular age or stage of development. The book draws on Steiner-Waldorf early years creative education, where a ‘child’s work is their play.’ Drawing on both the movement work of Spacial Dynamics® and the principles of Steiner/Waldorf education, the authors suggest tips on how to work with introverted, unfocused or over-dominant children, give insights into each of the four temperaments, and introduce new games created specifically to balance overexposure to our digital culture.

“What a delightful collection! The wide range of games is described so clearly that it’s easy to find something to play with a lucky child or group of children. And then you’ll never want to play something else, just because it’s so much fun to play and sing.”
