The Games Directory

Most new games are based on, well, old games. It's a lot easier to start off with a game that everybody knows is going to be fun. So, for anyone interested in making games new again, a collection of the tried and true is something to be treasured, and The Games Directory is precisely that. With over 200 games in the collection, it is almost guaranteed that you'll find a game that is new to you. Which, really, is all you need to get started.

Why "new"? Because familiar games often come with familiar behaviors. Some, too familiar. Most, too competitive. Winning and losing take on too much meaning - especially when all you really want to do is have fun. But unfamiliar games make it possible for us to play in ways we'd like play - ways that are more fun, for everyone.

Which brings us back to Fun and Games.

Fun and Games.org is owned and developed by Kit Logan and run with the help and input from the youth and children at the church and youth clubs of Ewell United Reformed Church. Further information about the youth work at the church can be found on the church website or at FISH Club's own site.

Fun and Games.org aims to be a central resource for all those who work with youth and children with the main premise of helping children and youth to develop their potentials, through the promotion of learning, play, social interaction and development of skills.

OK. OK. Learning and skill development are always good things. But, for my intents and purposes, play's the thing. And Fun and Games.org is an invitation to play that you will treasure the more you use it. Change a rule or two, combine a couple games, and you wind up with a virtually endless resource for bringing a little more fun into the world.
