Book of Beginning Circle Games
(Let's Make a Circle)—John Feierabend.
Circle games are one of the principal joys of
childhood, especially when played with a group
of friends outdoors. From The Farmer in the Dell
to London Bridge, these games encourage social
skills, cognitive and language development,
creativity, motor skills, and musical abilities.
Learning has never been so much fun!

The Book of Call and Response
(You Sing, I Sing)—John Feierabend.
John Feierabend has spent decades compiling
songs and rhymes from the memories of the
American people, in hopes that these treasures
will be preserved for future generations. These
books are a result of his belief that when many
generations share common experiences such as
traditional folk songs and rhymes, it helps them
develop a valuable but dwindling commodity,
a sense of community. Sharing also enables
adults to tap into their own wonderful childhood
memories as they pass on that same repertoire
to their children. The calls and responses are
structured so the leader sings one part and the
group sings a contrasting response.
