title: The Recreation Handbook: 342 Games and Other Activities for Teams and Individuals
author:  Robert L Loeffelbein 
description: Loeffelbein offers instructions for numerous games suitable for 8- to 12-year-old children. His book is organized into 15 sections according to the sport featured (e.g., acquatic games, basketball-type games, track & field, etc.). Unlike Family Fun and Games ( LJ 11/15/92), which features indoor games of cards, dice, etc., and Entertaining Children ( LJ 12/92); which describes party games, most of the activities listed are action-oriented. Emphasis is on team sports, although there are short sections on table games, word play, storytelling, and crafts. A standard format (including age level, organization level, number of players, supervision, playing time, space needed, equipment, etc.) is used to describe each activity. Unsophisticated line drawings illustrate play or set-up where needed. There is a detailed table of contents, but no index. Recreational leaders and others who work with upper elementary school children will find useful program ideas here. Recommended for public libraries.<BR><I>- Kay Brodie, Chesapeake Coll., Wye Mills, Md.</I><BR>Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
