Entertainments for Home, Church and School

"Entertainments for Home, Church and School" by Frederica Seeger is a compilation of engaging pastimes tailored for different groups, perfect for bringing joy to families, congregations, and classrooms in a bygone era. The book presents many games and activities intended for different events, underlining the dual role of entertainment and learning. The first part of the book explains that playing is both fun and educational. It shares different games that can be played inside or outside, suitable for different age groups. The early chapters introduce fun and simple-to-play games, such as "Going Shopping," "Hit or Miss," and "Game of Rhymes," which are perfect at gatherings. These games typically need little to no equipment and encourage players to mingle, laugh, and spend time relating to each other, arguing that an energetic host can make any event fun.
