Summary: This booklet is the first in a series designed to help parents build their child's play skills while promoting important social interaction and communication skills. This booklet centers around 'people games', games that focus on interaction instead of on toys. Examples of popular people games include Hide-and-Seek, Row, Row, Row Your Boat and Tag. People games are particularly helpful for children with social communication difficulties because they provide many opportunities to build some of the key interaction skills that these children often find difficult. While this booklet is designed specifically for parents of children with Autism Spedctrum Disorder, the play ideas are good for all children.
