INTRODUCTION
"Let the child imbibe in the
full spirit of play. There is nothing like it to keep
him on the path of health, right thinking and mind
development."
That is the guiding purpose
of the author. The reader will find in this book a
collection of old and present day games. The student of
Play has long realized that there are no new games, that
all our games of today are built on the old timers.
The
purpose of My Book of Indoor Games is to furnish
amusement, entertainment and to be the means of
sociability. So very often the question comes up—"What
shall we do?" In many cases this book serves only as a
reminder, the games and parlor tricks are well
known......................... |
