VERY comprehensive!

They say they have "all the traditional games" - well, it's an oral tradition, what they HAVE are games traditional to a particular school in San Francisco where they got ideas. Coming from NYC, the games I know are entirely different, but that's okay - I wanted more options than the few games I...

Great gift for 8+ girls

I loved Chinese Jumprope as a kid and wanted my daughter to try it too. Unfortunately, Chinese Jumpropes are really hard to find. I purchased this book with the 2 jumpropes and it was great. I gave it four stars since it was a little pricey. I didn't really need the games, I could have just...

Fun and Entertaining. Easy to Understand.

I bought this for my nieces, ages 9 and 6. The book was very easy to understand, and the 9 year old had them both playing in minutes! There are several versions of the game, and they were playing them all! Highly recommend this book!

brings back memories!

My 6-yr old daughter started playing at school - the games have changed since I played as a kid - and she was excited to have one of her own. She really enjoys following the directions to new games that are shown in the book.

Great gift!

These books by Klutz are the best ever! I got this for an 8-year girl and she loved it. I want to play with her; it will surely bring back memories of childhood.

Love the Chinese Jump Rope

Loved this as a child. My 7 yr. old came home from school with some yarn. They were learning cat's cradle at school. Looked high and low for a Chinese Jump Rope. Finally found this one along with a great book with some other ideas that I had not seen before. Love the Chinese Jump Rope.

Great Gift for young girls

This is a great gift for young girls. Not a game that is well known today but was popular when I was young. My neighbor's little girl has had a blast playing this and has shared it with her friends at school.

Good Old Stuff

I searched for months to figure out a gift for my neighbor's daughter. I wanted to get her something she could do that was not in front of a computer yet did not cost an "arm and a leg". This book is good. You get both the rules and the equipment. You need 3 players or 2 and a stable chair...
