Phenomenal

This truly is a "nuts and bolts condensed guide" for working with kids. Jim creates a framework for clearly understanding children, their development and their needs. I've tried a number of the games and each is a winner.

My favorite !

Of all the books out there on playing with kids, this is by far my favorite. His chapter on the power of "it" is excellent. I made it a mandatory read for my staff working with kids. Ive also seen this author speak and was most impressed.

Fun Games Galore!

I was very impressed with "Mr. Play" and his many activities. I teach at the middle school level and also coach several sports. I have found that the child management tactics described in the book often enhance the quality of my interactions with kids every day. My students/players have truly enjoyed the group games that I have taken from "How to Play With Kids." Two of my favorites are NAME WHIP and GREAT CHANGE ARTIST. I felt this was a solid book and well worth reading.
