Pencil and Paper Games

Description

Amidst endless apps and computer games, there is still an important place for simple yet engaging games, played with just a piece of paper and a pencil. A write-in book of quick, simple games, perfect for playing on the go. With over 200 pages to play 20 traditional games such as battleships, hangman and noughts and crosses, as well as less well-known games such as caterpillar, shooting stars and minefield. Each game has clear instructions and several colourful pages with grids and game outlines already in place for children to write on. Eliminates the need for lots of spare paper, making it ideal for long journeys and holidays.

Before joining Usborne, Simon worked in Moscow as sports editor for a local paper. These days he writes about things that aren't actually real, but are very important nevertheless. Monsters, dragons, superheroes - all the sort of stuff he loved as a child. And still does, truth be told.

Put down that tablet and pick up a different sort of pad for some old-fashioned holiday fun. You'll be amazed by just how much entertainment you can have with this book - and it won't even need charging. * The Sunday Express *
