British, US and Australian editions

Games for Fun, Fitness and Learning and Grammar & Vocab Games for Children are both available in editions for the USA, the UK and Australia. Each edition reflects the national spelling, idioms and usage.

Activities for groups large and small

Games for Fun, Fitness and Learning contains 339 activities, and is divided into three main sections: physical and mental, life skill, and educational. The physical and mental games are for fun and fitness, and can be enjoyed at birthday parties, family get-togethers and weekend outings. The life skill games are designed especially for Cub and Brownie Leaders, and include map and compass reading, knotting, first aid, home safety and outdoor cooking. The educational games include fun activities in maths, English, science, history, geography, foreign languages, art and music. Teachers and home-schooling families will find this section instructive, stimulating and very unusual.

The games are suitable for 7 to 17 year olds, and some of the activities will stretch the minds of even the cleverest teenagers.

While Games for Fun, Fitness and Learning is perfect for larger groups, Family Games contains over 300 games specially designed for entertaining and teaching small groups of children (from 1 to 6 players).

Family Games is organised along the same lines as Games for Fun, Fitness and Learning, with sections devoted to physical and mental games, life skills, and educational games.
