Book review: Red Rover, Red Rover! Games from an Irish Childhood by Kunak McGann
There is nothing like the old school games we used to play on the road; Red Rover, Red Rover, Kerbs, Tip the Can… the type of games that had us outside for hours on end, making memories with our friends on the road.
Today's kids, however, have so many various devices keeping them amused that some mums can struggle to get them outside; to play the traditional games their parents used to have so much fun playing.
And that is why we love Kunak McGann's new book, Red Rover, Red Rover, and other fun games from your childhood to play with your kids, because it lists and explains how today's kids can play the games we loved so much growing up.
Packed with classics like Marbles, Conkers, Bulldog and Hopscotch, there is a game in here for every event. Parties, rainy days, and just Saturday afternoon fun, both kids AND adults will have great fun playing together!
With easy instructions, handy tips and 'risk' ratings, Kunak's book will whisk you back to those carefree days of childhood and, if your creaky old bones are up to it, inspire you to get out with the kids and revel in those games all over again.
Published by O'Brien Press, it will be available from October.
