Description:This report was compiled by the organisers of schemes that ran in a number of Birmingham parks and recreation grounds during the summer of 1911. It was managed by Norman Chamberlain, chairman of the Parks Committee, and aimed to teach children how to play ball games, 'ring games' and skipping games instead of what he described as 'wandering around aimlessly' in the park.
