Waldorf Games Handbook for the Early Years - Games to Play & Sing with Children aged 3 to 7 offers a handy guide to playing games with young children.

This classic games book offers a standby resource for parents, teachers, forest school educators and play leaders. The games are tried and tested. They draw on worldwide Steiner - Waldorf creative education, where a ‘child’s work is their play.’ Child growth is explored and how this is helped by a rich treasury of action, finger, circle, clapping, beanbag, chasing, water, tumbling, story and singing games. There are both traditional favourites and also new games created to engage with digitally challenging behaviour.

Each game is clearly and simply described, with diagrams and drawings for how to play.

The games’ weaving of rhythms, movement, songs, stories and pictures invites children into worlds of vibrant wonder. These games help children feel at ease in their bodies, build relationships and enjoy playing.

Industry Reviews

Reminds us of the beauty and power of living song and movement.  Nourishes children and adults alike as they share the music together. Joan Almon, Alliance for Childhood



 



What a delightful collection! The wide range of games are described so clearly that it's easy to fund something to play with a lucky chid or group of children. And then you'll want to play something else, juts because it so much fun to play and sing. - Rahima Baldwin Dancy, author, You are Your Child's First Teacher



 



Provides parents, nursery carers, and teachers with a valuable resource of enjoyable games for preparing children for life. - Sally Goddard Blythe, author, The Well-Balanced Child



 



'A child must learn to live within a house of her own making,



To tour worlds she has never seen, without her home forsaking.



But what bridges realms within, without others have no name?



The answer is a shared delight, and is a child's game.' - Jaimen McMillan, Spacial Dynamics Institute



 



An inspiring and useful gem for anyone who plays and works with young children. - Foreword, Jane Miller EdD, Department of Education, Antioch University, New England , USA
