Acting Games. "Let's paly horses." "I'll be the engine driver." "You be ill and I'll be the doctor." "Lets pretend...." These are games we play when we are small and no one is listening. Children, like Shakespeare's lunatic, lover and poet, are "of imagination all compact," and Miss Collins in the book tells how best to use and develop this instinct of "Lets pretend"; how by plays of their own invention, acted in their own way, children may exercise their sensibilities and sympathies just as the kitten with its sudden sidelong jumps and the puppy rushing headlong round the garden exercise their limbs.
