The Backyard Games is a fun rhyming book written by Alister Nicholson and illustrated by Tom Jellett in fabulous full-colour double page spreads.
"What a glorious day for the Backyard Games!Who will be champions, household names?We've planned and practiced; we've built our venue.Now, a great sporting feast is on the menu."
The children pick the country they will represent and the games begin. There is competition, fun, cheering and a few mishaps but most of all there is laughter and working together as they celebrate the ceremony and fun of the games.
As the light begins to fade medals are given and everyone's a winner in The Backyard Games.
This is such a fun book and perfect for the upcoming school holidays. The Backyard Games is the perfect inspiration to gather the kids outside and make your own Olympic games day.
