The Field Game Field Guide: A Guide to Sportsmanship and Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999249203)

This book is about games, not "childhood games." This book is about games we played as children, and really ought to still be playing now. The Field Game Field Guide dives into how the lessons we learned about dealing with that one kid who wont admit to being tagged at recess are equally applicable to our day-to-day lives and relationships.

The Field Game Field Guide is a unique exploration of how those early playground experiences shape who we are and how we relate to others. Blending humor with hard-won, dirt covered wisdom, Wallace Thompson (me) offers a fresh take on sportsmanship, relationships, and personal growth through the lens of play.

Drawing from years of childcare experience and an unconventional upbringing, The Field Game Field Guide reveals the deep, often overlooked lessons hidden in the simple act of playing fair. Whether you're a parent, teacher, coach, or just someone who remembers the magic of recess, this guide will help you:

• Learn how to set up and play classic childhood games

• Understand the unwritten rules of good sportsmanship

• Appreciate the role of play in childhood development
