Chapteh, congkak, hopscotch and five stones... Do these names ring a bell? This book takes you back in time to the 1950s and 1960s for some old school games that children used to play before the age of iPads, Nintendo and the Internet. None of the games mentioned in this book are electronic, yet they have provided many hours of fun and entertainment for the kids of yesterday.

Read on to find out which games have been played for more than 5,000 years, and the origins of certain toys we have taken for granted. Hark back to a simpler era when fun was about maximising a child's imagination and creativity, and discover new ways of having fun!

Whether you are a child, parent or simply someone who is nostalgic about the good old days at kampungs, this book is meant for you!
