New Games embody an attitude toward play. They are cooperative games sometimes including competition where participants play together rather than against one another. The capacity to join and have fun with others is more important than winning. Everyone can play New Games regardless of age, ability, size, or gender. They require little or no equipment and are presented and played in a safe manner that encourages participation, creativity, and personal expression. New Games offers a new direction for traditional sports, physical education, and recreation. Ultimately, by cooperating in play, we learn to live together better.

New Games are for... elementary to high school classes; businesses (from conflict resolution to team building); physical education programs; retirement homes; after school programs; community groups; youth groups; religious groups; parents. In short, anyone who leads or is part of a group.
