Great for when you must be around kids for a while
Kids need fun activities to learn socialization. Parents, teachers, and other kid caregivers need these fun activities so they don’t go nuts with whiny, bored children. Use this book of games! I used it in my high school classroom when we had ten minutes to kill.
Great ideas
Amazing compilation of basic games for all ages. All your childhood favorites and many new ones. Nice to have all the ideas and rules in one place.
Not for my toddler aged kids, but lots of good ideas for elementary ages and up
I wanted to love this book… but as a stay at home mom with three younger children ( ages 4,6,and7) it just wasnât what I was looking for. It was more wordy and higher level than expected and seemed geared more towards elementary ages and up. The author has done a good job of creating a ton of great ideas – especially good for teachers perhaps, but for my specific needs, it just wasnât what I expected. Iâm including a few photos of some sample pages just to provide a closer look at what to expect – hope that helps!
Educational and fun
Great ideas for classroom movement breaks or for building community. Some of the activities could be readily used if you use Responsive Classroom in your school or class
There is no other book like it
There is no excuse not to have fun after reading this book. With 100 games for grown ups and kids, most not needing anything except sometimes a pen and paper, you will find a new game to play on that long car ride, family vacation or rainy Sunday afternoon. There is so much creativity, enthusiasm and joy throughout this whole book. A small downside is it is written from a UK perspective and a couple of the games (eg: involving car number plates) may not work in other areas. I absolutely love and encourage us all to embrace play more and this book is the epitome of that. Absolutely recommended for everyone.
Wonderful games for the whole family!!!
This is the most wonderful book! There are ten different categories of games including games for Christmas, parties, trips, and at the kitchen table. Each game has the number of players, difficulty level, and time to play at the start of the instructions, and the games are clearly explained. My family is going to love this book for years to come!
Wow this book is going to be an essential for us; for any long car journey, for camping trips, for holidays in general, and to have on those rainy days when the kids complain of boredom when we make them turn the screens off!We’ve only had it a week, and they’re thrilled when I yell “THE FLOOR IS LAVA!” and oh the screams when I lure them into the kitchen under some false pretence, only to yell the words and step on to my conveniently placed footstool MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!The other game we’ve played so far from it is Silly Word Snowballs and that also went down a treat. The kids firstly had a lot of fun making the paper snowballs with the silly words inside, and then of course throwing all their snowballs at mostly me. And being their mum, I find every joke they try to make absolutely HILARIOUS so I can never win any points.If you’ve read this far, then you probably are quite keen on this book already, and I 100% recommend it for any family size. Even young kids can join in a lot of the games, so that’s a win win for us. Many of the games are for good readers though, 8+ seems to be the minimum age for most games, but you can adapt some by the look of it.There’s different categories of games, which make it easier to find a good one to suit a situation. Some are for car journeys, and one category is entitled Cabin Fever so you can always find a game to suit what you’re doing.A massive thumbs up from us 😀
My son aged 11 and the family love this book !He was put off at first with the small print but now regularly turns to the book for inspiration.
In 1986 Jermaine Stewart famously sang “You Don’t Have to Take Your Clothes off to Have a Good Time”. He was right.Just over 30 years later, it would seem that most people consider that the only form of collective family entertainment involves going on line and interacting with either a phone, a tablet or some other gadget. People ever use smart phones to play “who am I”, instead of a simple post it note on their forehead, they now have to download an “app” and put their phones on their heads. A similar, equally sad story for charades.This book is different. It contains 100 games that can be played with {Shock} {Horror} no electronic devices whatsoever. This may well seem inconceivable to anyone under the age of 30 but it is a fact. I whipped it out over Christmas with a family group including several 20somethings and they did, at first, seem perplexed by the concept of deriving entertainment from a simple book with no internet connectivity but when they got the hang of it they loved it. It was like watching a chick learning to fly and realising that they could do it themselves. A true revelation. Oh how we laughed when we played the counting game. Everyone joined in and everyone loved it. And we have only tried a few of the games so far. This is a brilliant book. Jermaine Stewart was right. You don’t have to plug your gadget into the world wide web. To have a good time. Oh no.
“Let’s play a party game” is a sentence that fills me with as much dread as “let’s start this conference with a little ice breaker”. But I’m thrilled to say ‘The Floor is Lava’ is far from a collection of contrived activities that drag a social situation into a dullness.The care, attention and detail that has gone into this book is second to none. Ivan loves games, that’s clear to see. But he approaches a topic he is obsessed with in a conscientious and accessible way. There really are games for everyone in here. And the way he often leaves the rules up to interpretation or for you to make tweaks to suit you and your party prevents him from ever slipping into that “organised fun” kinda guy.I’m not often a five star giver, but this simply does what it says on the tin, and some. Every chapter has filled my time-to-kill arsenal with some wonderfully fun weaponry. Highly recommended for people of all ages.
Every parent should be given a free copy of this book when they have their first child!As parents who try hard not to fall into the trap of screen time just to get some peace on a car ride or wet weekend, this book is a masterpiece.I know I could look up games in the internet but having a well set out guide book is so useful. We are exploring slowly, and the various levels of complexity means our 8YO and 10YO girls can find something for themselves. They still strop a bit that they donât get Netflix but soon settle into something.Weâve tried around a dozen so far with the absolute favourite being car cricket ð. Completely new to me and a lot of fun to take turns on a car journey.For less than the price of a trip to a coffee shop, we now have the inspiration needed to distract 2 easily bored children into something more fun.
