Rainy Day Games: Projects, Programs, and Play for Rainy Days

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Tent by Joy Mackay was a standby book on rainy day activities for years. This new title uses some of Joy's original ideas then expands, updates, modifies and makes them totally today, totally new, and totally awesome. The author, Michelle Carvajal Decker, who honed her facilitator, game leader skills during her time working for Indiana University's Bradford Woods Environmental Education program, has brought many activities that she learned and practiced while on staff at Bradford Woods. We're sure you'll be pleased with her ideas and how she brings some old ideas into the new century. Chapters are divided by group sizes and then by the recreational space needed for each activity. Each listing also includes the recommended ages, equipment, preparation time, activity description, and possible variations. You should find activities that remind you of old favorites, others that are brand new, and still others will have some variations. You may even find that your campers will believe that soggy shoes and rainy days can be fun!
