Lawn Games for Life
Tag, Toss & Run, the book is a culmination of several years of planning in advance of next year’s 40th anniversary of the first video game.
Since Pong came out in 1972, the impact of all that sedentary time in front of TV and computer screens has had a profound impact on children — who are now far more likely to be obese, suffer from attention deficit disorders and other physiological and psychological maladies. Before we relegate an old-fashioned outdoor childhood to distant memory, both Victoria and I thought we needed to get this book and our campaign, Lawn Games for Life, out in the public consciousness.
We  had a blast re-living our childhoods in writing this book. We think the readers — many who will be learning some of these games for the first time — will love it, too. All the classic games are in there, the various forms of tag, hide ‘n seek, along with Bocce, Croquet and Badminton. But we unearthed a bunch of new-to-us games, too, like Kubb from Norway and Molkky from Finland.
What was your favorite game? We’ve already played run through that exercise with a local radio station; people were calling in from their cars with nostalgic childhood stories. With 40 games and numerous other variations included in the pages from Storey/Workman Publishers, chances are you’ll find that blast from your past.
