This work brings together a collection of games that have been a part of childhood through the ages, games that continue to be played in various forms around the world. Many anthologies of folktales, music, and other forms of art have been collected for readers, but there are not many works on the subject of traditional childhood games and their role in the important “work” of childhood, which is in fact play.
This book helps to meet a growing interest among educators and parents to encourage natural play and creativity in a world that is increasingly digital. Directions, descriptions, illustrations, of traditional childhood games, supported by educational theory are included. The material covered will not only help parents and educators to support children in play, but will also provide an anthology for consultation by those who see the need to preserve traditional play long associated with childhood.

When meeting their new grandchildren, new grandparents may wonder, “What is the name for me?” Do you struggle with naming yourself for your new role as grandmother? This is one grandmother’s funny, sing-song approach to the “name a grandmother” challenge.

When meeting their new grandchildren, new grandparents may wonder, “What is the name for me?” Do you struggle with naming yourself for your new role as grandmother? This is one grandmother’s funny, sing-song approach to the “name a grandmother” challenge.
When she was a new grandmother, she did not know what her grandchildren
would call her. She considered, discussed, and then she decided. “Call me anything but Nana—even Banana will do!” And so, she became Banana to her grandchildren. She always planned to be Grandmother—an elegant title. But then she realized she needed a name that was more fitting for who she was. And so Banana she is and always will be.
This children’s poem offers a glimpse at an unusual and humorous response to the problem grandparents face of choosing the name their grandchildren will use for them.
