April’s Book of Games

Creative Exercises for Classes, Camps, and Communities

by April Cotte / new edition by Reclaiming Quarterly

April’s Book of Games is a resource for teachers and grassroots organizers for all age groups – and a keepsake for those who loved her.

New editionprint (color cover/B&W pages) | free PDF

When she co-taught at Witchlets and Redwood Magic family camps, April shared a xeroxed version of her book of games, exercises, and activities. Originally crafted for grades K-8, we’ve found it useful for all ages. It became part of our toolkit.

The original xerox-of-a-xerox got the job done – but the book needed a full production.  The new version includes the original text – nearly 100 pages of games and exercises – plus several of April’s writings. 

It also features memories from many who loved, worked, and played with April.

Available both as a print edition and as a free PDF. Like our other Reclaiming Quarterly publications, we hope thousands of people will download and use this amazing teaching tool.

Youtube – A Brief History of Direct Action!

DA-YT31-Cop&Hippie

Direct action has a long and honored place in American history – from the revolution itself through abolitionists, suffragists, union organizers, civil rights advocates, feminist and gay rights activists, and on to today’s vibrant climate and social justice organizing.

Click here for A Brief History of Direct Action

Join author Luke Hauser for a profusely illustrated 25-minute journey through our past. We’ll focus especially on organizing from 1980 to the present, with sections on the 1980s anti-nuke movement and 2011’s Occupy actions.

Originally created around 2000, the show has been updated with a revised text and many new images. Co-created by Groundwork and Reclaiming Quarterly.

So make a big bowl of popcorn, pull up your beanbag chair, and get ready for a journey through our history!
