Grandpa's Fourteen Games

This series first arose in China as a response to the lockdown from the Covid-19 pandemic. It stands as a reminder that all of humanity has similar problems and can come up with solutions based on common values and goals – how to survive in times of great suffering and how to protect and look after one another. A pandemic affects us all. Children can find “fight the virus” stories all around them. When they learn to identify danger and face challenges with courage, they grow. Our children will come through this storm, they will feel our love, and will look forward to the future. Children love to play games, and unusual times call for unusual games. Even in the tiniest room, you can let your imagination fly, climb into a helicopter, put up a tent, breathe fire… you can beat your troubles with creativity, and your fears with imagination, and make your dreams come true. Life is beautiful, and we must look after it. When we’ve known darkness, we treasure light and warmth. - Zhao Ling
