Remember the days when, with very little equipment and just a
few kids, you could have an endless amount of fun playing
games?
Those days are back. And "Physical Education for Homeschool,
Classroom, and Recreation Settings: 102 Games With Variations" adds
a twist to those fun games: They are educational as well.
The 102 games and 10 dance and gymnastics activities in this
book are specifically designed for small-group settings. They're
great for
- parents who homeschool or who simply want to supplement their
children's PE instruction and have fun with their kids;
- physical education teachers in small-school settings or who
break their class into smaller groups; and
- leaders of after-school, recreation, intramural, and recess
programs.
While the settings may change, the results don't: Children learn
skills and healthy concepts while playing games that keep them
coming back for more.
"Physical Education for Homeschool, Classroom, and Recreation
Settings" offers the following:
- Games and activities that are ready-made, easy and fun to
play, and grounded in research
- Yearly lesson plans for grades K-5, making it easy for you to
teach
- Games that are grounded in American Academy of Pediatrics
research on the importance of play, the Canadian Sport for Life
model, physical literacy, and the Teaching Games for Understanding
(TGfU) approach
The TGfU approach helps children learn interpersonal, social
reasoning, and problem-solving skills, which they can apply to
multiple situations. And as they take part in the fun physical
activities, kids develop fundamental abilities and learn how to
develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle through regular physical
activity.
The book includes a game finder to help you see what skills and
equipment are involved for each game. Photos, illustrations, and
easy-to-use components help make the games simple to teach, and
you'll be shown how to modify each game as needed for your children
and to ensure the game applies to different sports. Each game ends
with questions that lead to understanding the skills and concepts
applied during the game.
"Physical Education for Homeschool, Classroom, and Recreation
Settings" includes
- warm-up, cool-down, and fitness games;
- target, territory invasion, and net and wall games;
- dribbling, striking, and fielding games; and
- dance and gymnastics activities.
Whether you are looking for a useful PE book for your
homeschooler or looking to supplement your physical education
program, recreation program, or after-school or intramural program,
this book is a great find. You'll find it comprehensive, well
grounded, and filled with challenging educational games that your
kids will love.
