BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR GAMES

Playing Every Day with Imagination

by Bruno Horst Bull - U. Diekmeyer - Ed. S.E.I. - 1978 - 400 p.

This book pursues a dual goal: offering parents practical suggestions and providing children with a useful and engaging resource. The suggestions help parents and educators guide children in mastering everyday concepts before school age. The book directly engages children too, sparking their creativity across a range of situations they encounter.
Drawings, texts, and advice speak to parents of preschool children, but can also help anyone looking for ideas to invent, adapt, and prepare educational games for young people with intellectual disabilities.

Mini Encyclopedia of Leisure

Vols. I and II - Ed. Elle-DiCi - 256 p.

A group of educators convinced that young people want help filling their free time and "being together well" present, across two volumes, a range of ideas: manual activities, group games, sketches and dialogues to perform, competitions of all kinds.

All in a Circle

by Luciano Ferraris - Ed. ElleDiCi - 256 p.

This collection includes songs, canons, rounds, dances, mime songs, spoken choruses, examples of total expression, diction, poster-making, audiovisual materials, vigils, performance games, traditional games, and competitive games. Records and cassettes make the material accessible even to beginners. We recommend it to anyone who wants a single book packed with "mountains of ideas."
