Reviews
'Adventure Education' provides a toolkit of various games and activities that can be used with groups of young children, including parachute games, card and musical activities, and climbing and traversing games. It's a growing area, with forest schools, the government's recent Health Improvement Grant, and the continual growth in provision outside school, so the book will appeal to a wide audience. - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch
