It appears the days of fun and games for young children have been replaced with apps and screen time. Electronic games promote individual play and connect young children to screens, not people. This book is a collection of screen-free, traditional games and activities for young children that require nothing more than people and their brains to play. All games and activities are adaptable according to the age of the children, their interests, and their abilities.
