Folk Games – Ivan Brett
The Floor is Lava, What’s the Time Mr Wolf?, Duck Duck Goose, Hide and Seek… how many others can you name from your childhood?
Folk Games, just like folk music and folklore, gain life from being passed from person to person. Hear from author, Ivan Brett, bestselling author of The Floor is Lava (and 99 more games for everyone, everywhere) and star of BBC’s The Traitors, to continue that chain.
Ivan will be getting you to think about the many games you would have played as a child, and some that you may have learnt to play by your parents and grandparents, and may even get you on your feet for a game of The Floor is Lava, too!
Having been brought up thinking he had been born in a bike shop, we are sure this is going to be a thrilling and entertaining afternoon with the master of misunderstandings and mistakes which have crafted his life so far!
