All the drinking games you'll need for the perfect night out... or
in! Drinking is great, right? But not on your own. That's sad.
Thankfully, The Little Book of Drinking Games is here to help you -
and your friends - find an excuse to get drunk and let your hair
down. Jam-packed with more than 50 drinking games of all shapes and
sizes, this pocket compendium will have you thinking, drinking and
pint-sinking in no time. The Little Book of Drinking Games contains
the best classic drinking games (that you're usually too drunk to
remember the rules to), games inspired by your favourite movies and
TV shows as well as a few games that are destined to become new
traditions. Ice-Cube Raft Race: Just like the legendary pub relay,
Boat Race, but on a much smaller scale. Essential Supplies: An
ice-cube tray, shots of your favourite spirit and plenty of straws.
Borrow an ice-cube tray from the bar/your kitchen, and fill the
compartments with a spirit or strong beer. If it's a tray with two
rows of sections, all the better as one player can take the left
side, racing another player who takes the right. The idea is to
drink each compartment dry through a straw, before moving on to the
next one, and then the next, until all of the compartments have
been emptied. Whoever finishes first wins and condemns the loser to
a forfeit of their choice.

Try to bring together the ton's most beloved matches in this easy-to-learn memory game - but watch out for scandal sheets that could drive them apart!
Dale Borman Fink, the author of the only book on inclusion of
youth with special needs in before and after school child care, now
presents the first book to examine the experiences of children with
disabilities participating in youth programs alongside their
typical peers. This book is the product of Fink's quest to learn as
much as possible about one community's experience with the
inclusion of children with special needs in youth programs. Using a
case study technique, he probes into the issues and dynamics that
influence the increasing participation of kids with disabilities in
such activities as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and park and recreation
programs.
Fink enters a Midwestern community of 14,000, which he calls
Wabash, interviewing the parents, the professionals, the peers, the
community leaders, and the volunteers about the participation of
children with disabilities. How does a girl who relies on an
augmentative communication device take part in a Brownie troop?
What do other tee-ball players think about a teammate with cerebral
palsy? Why does one family refuse to use the local drop-in
recreation center? Readers will learn what practices are evolving
and what opportunities are being overlooked. Fink makes his own
biases and interpretations plain, and he shares part of his own
biography along the way. But it is the voices and experiences of
the people of Wabash, rather than those of the author, that invest
this book with such power and such importance to all who are
concerned with youth with special needs.

Part of an exciting series of sturdy, square-box 1000-piece jigsaw
puzzles from Flame Tree, featuring powerful and popular works of
art. This new jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge, with a
masterpiece of inspirational poster art, Rosie the Riveter. This
1000 piece jigsaw is intended for adults and children over 13
years. Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts.
Finished Jigsaw size 735 x 510mm/29 x 20 ins. Now includes an A4
poster for reference. This popular image of empowerment has become
a symbol of modern female confidence. Originally created for the
Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company, it was part of a
sequence of posters commissioned by the company and appeared only
briefly during the war. Many have assumed a connection with the
American war effort, and the US Government exhortation to women to
join in the munitions and aerospace industry. Such campaigns
created thousands of jobs for women, and subsequent generations
have positioned Rosie as a symbol of late 20th Century empowerment.
In fact, this particular image was not used officially, and is
sometimes confused with the similar poster by Norman Rockwell,
which features a strident young woman standing before the American
flag. Miller's poster, though, captures the steely strength of
womanhood, with a direct challenge to the viewer through the
carefully made-up eyes, and clarion-calling slogan.
