Abstract

This chapter describes a large research collaboration between HE and the British Library. It digitised the Opie Collection of children's games in the National Sound archive, and collected new games in a two-year ethnographic study of school playgrounds in London and Sheffield. This chapter analyses two sets of data collected in the playgrounds, using multimodal frameworks to consider language, movement and music.
