Wild Imaginations!

The games have come from a variety of sources. Many have come from Joseph Cornell’s books (see ‘Activities Books’) and some have come from the ‘Earthwalks’ book by Kirk Hoessle.

However, many activities have also been picked up through working with other people and through various training courses. The origins of these games is therefore unknown.
