Kiss chase and conkers

the long version

Remember hide and seek? What about sardines and stuck-in-the-mud? Kiss chase and kick-the-can; tig, tag and it? And ever made a decision by using 'ip-dip-sky-blue-who's-it-not-you'? Readers from 8 to 80 will find something to enjoy in Kiss Chase and Conkers, an evocation of the golden days of childhood. Numerous traditional children's games are described and illustrated, from timeless classics to recent favourites. This book celebrates the ingenuity and resourcefulness of children through the ages, and the inventiveness of games devised, played and passed down the generations.
