Have Some Fun: Ideas For What To Do Summary:
|
Have Some Fun! describes a variety of simple, hands-on activities including play activities,
performing stunts and tricks, enjoyable leisure pastimes and miscellaneous fun to do stuff. The
amusements are fun to do and fun to show to others. Most can be done with little or no practice.
For example, activities include tips on how to make giant bubbles and how to get a drawing of a
face to look right. Over 50 topics in all. Made particularly for those who enjoy the discovery of new amusements. No puzzles, no mazes, no word games. The selection of activities is much more hands-on and do-it-yourself than is typical of most other books about leisure. It is most appropriate for those age 11 to 16 years. An earlier version of this book was nominated for the Bolgna New Media Prize.

Day to day life on a small farm gives insight into the natural world, science and how we can interact with what is around us. Alan came to believe that nothing contributes more to one's enjoyment of life than learning about the world and appreciating the beauty and complexity of all that is around us. In keeping with his high regard for reality based entertainment, Alan started Slickditty Software in 1996. That company produces content that encourages appreciation and wonder for the world and the great opportunities it presents to us.
