Overview"""How do children play nowadays? What rhymes do they sing? What games do they play? Anyone who works with children will happily tell you that 'children don't play the way they used to', but what does that really mean? Drawing on the results of the first major survey into children's play in fifty years, The Lore of the Playground explores children's modern day behaviour and puts it into a historical context. From skipping to tag, from marbles to conkers and from 'eeny meeny miny mo' to 'one potato, two potato', The Lore of the Playground will present a fascinating insight into everyone's childhood."""
