BERLIN, GERMANY, February 15, 2011 (Press-News.org) Why Choose Non-Competitive Games? - Many adults find it difficult not to be a bad loser, and it is even more difficult for children who have yet to learn how to lose. However, the art of losing should not be taught on birthdays, as these should be very special celebrations with lots of happiness, fun and a merry atmosphere.
In traditional competitive games such as sack racing or egg and spoon races, children are pitted against each other to create winners and losers. Non-competitive games on the other hand avoid competition and instead often require teamwork. They produce a largely imperceptible - but very important - mood of community spirit, while competitive games simply bring out conflict among birthday guests.
Therefore "Competition-free Birthday: Teamwork Games for Kids" (author Dr. Ayleen Scheffler-Hadenfeldt, translated by S.T. Paterson) introduces the parents to both new and well-known non-competitive games, some of which have been modified slightly to promote harmony among the children. The parents get to know a wide range of indoor and outdoor non-competitive games ranging from the imaginative and creative, comical and fun-packed to the exciting and adventurous. Lots of cheery black-white-photos illustrate these non-competitive games.
Reader review: "My 5-year-old daughter and her friends had a brilliant time at her birthday party, without any sign of tears or tantrums! Thanks so much!" Patricia Vogler at Amazon (1.german edition).
The magazine for youth workers "youth and me" had plenty of praise for Competition-free Birthday: Teamwork Games for Kids - Non-competitive Children´s Party Games (11th edition, 15 January 2008):
"Even in design and lay-out, the book satisfied all professional requirements. Very user-friendly e.g. the categorisation and brief overview of each game with information about age suitability, materials required, the best places to play and special features (quiet/lively, etc.) Great tips on how to segue smoothly from one game to the next, as well as fantastic descriptions of themed birthdays (including a 'Find-and-Do' rally and ideas for Pirates and Horses themes)...." (Andreas Robra).
"... The games are not only suitable for children's birthdays, but also any other parties, games evenings, etc. In my opinion, the games are excellently described in a clear and simple way." (Monnica Klöckener).
Further was "Competition-free Birthday: Teamwork Games for Kids" recommended in the magazine "Sport in BW": "Competiton-free Birthday: Teamwork Games for Kids" helps to develop teamwork ability of Kids. (Sport in BW 02/2010)
