For every child, recovering his normal daily life means going back to school, to his family and to his community. Living his day to day life above all means  having the chance to play. The importance of play is also recognized by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, as an activity of prevention of every kind of exploitation.

The games described in this manual will allow children to strengthen their life-skills and will help adults get to know children better and relate with them. The chapters and the included games build upon one another and allow for a progressive deepening of relationships and comprehension.

Authors: Lucia Castelli, Giovanni Galli, Cristina Terribili, Elena Locatelli, Anne Devreux, Mariella Bombardieri
