"The Orange Mama Laid" is a straightforward guide to the games that have kept generations of kids outdoors until the dinner bell rang and again until bedtime, and to the games that have kept them occupied on long winter days and car rides. With this book as a refresher, you'll be able to lure the kids away from their TV's and computers, break the ice with the newest ones and/or keep the kids active and entertained in any situation that allows for a little fun. Some of the games and activities included are the motions to Itsy Bitsy Spider and I'm a Little Teapot; the rules to Capture the Flag, SPUD, Sardines, Spotlight Tag, Ghost in the Graveyard and Kick the Can; the rules for Old Maid, Hearts, Spit, Spoons, and I Doubt It; how to fold a paper football and a cootie-catchie; riddles, knock-knock jokes and even a whole list of your favorite farewell rhynes ("Let's scat, alley cat!").


About The Author

Kirsten Denney grew up spending her summers on an island in Maine with no electricity so spent whole days playing the games in "The Orange Mama Laid". She was inspired to write this book by her neices and nephew, with whom she now shares these games on that same island.

Emilia S. from Los Angeles , CA
 As a new Mommy who loves collecting children's books-this is by far my favorite book. I played the games with my 8 month old and sang all the songs and he giggled and laughed while all my warm childhood memories came rushing back to me. This is a classic collector's item for anybody who loves children and appreciates preserving the old songs & games. Kirsten, thank you for preserving our history and for celebrating children, music, games, and old-fashion laughter. This book is what childhood is all about and it is timeless. I will share this book with all the 90 women in my Mommy and Me group. Great gift for the holidays and for any new parent, grandparent, auntie, uncle etc.. It is well priced, well -organized, quick & easy for a busy Mommy.

 Kirsten Denney's book has preserved classic kids games. It is as fun to be reminded of games from my childhood as it is to pass them along to my grandchildren! There are also new games that will become classics. A wonderful change from virtual play. Kids really enjoy the interaction with other kids and even adults who still love to play. The rules are explained and variations are suggested. There is laughter and high energy fun for all. Kirsten obviously loves kids and games and her enjoyment is contagious. I love this book!
Susan from Sterling , VA
 This book has provided more fun for our family than any other I remember. The instructions are easy to follow, and the games are a blast. This book is a must-have for every family and anyone who cares for kids.
