Simon Lichman and Rivanna Miller have worked in the field of co-existence education since 1991 at the Centre for Creativity in Education and Cultural Heritage, a non-profit-making organisation based in Jerusalem, Israel. They use folklore as a tool in multicultural and co-existence education in a region where conflict and violence are part of everyday experience. The world of play is a central theme in programmes that bring together Jewish and Arab, Palestinian and Israeli communities. Children research the games their parents and grandparents played in their childhoods, sharing the play worlds they learn about with each other. This article reflects on how Iona and Peter Opie's books add richness to the process of discovery. Personal family traditions are placed within the broader sweep of history and contexts of traditional play which encourages participants to accept and enjoy their similarities and differences
