Recess: From Dodgeball to Double Dutch

We could all use a break. This guide to the schoolyard games of childhood is “something special” (The Wall Street Journal).

Remember recess? It was that refreshing break between classes that cleared the cobwebs, refreshed the mind, and got everyone moving. Recess is the ultimate illustrated guide to the best games of the playground, for inside or outside, kids or grownups.

With detailed instructions, diagrams, and a can-do attitude, this fun guide includes the rules to more than 150 games and variations, including more than two dozen international games from schoolyards around the world, plus tips and strategies for winning!

“Remember, your 30-year-old self isn’t quite as adept at dodging a ball as your 10-year-old self was, but spending your lunch hour at work playing in the parking lot is a lot better than catching up on your friends’ boring Facebook updates.” —Gizmodo
