This book has some great ideas. If you like stations or keeping a gym completely moving than this book might be for you. Some of the activities and layouts don't seem very feasible. Its a decent book if you are looking for a way to organize stations.
This is such a great book for PE Teachers any and everywhere. It gives you tons of ideas on how to have effective management, quick routines, and most of all tons of activities for pretty much every subject. His other books are full of awesome games as well. I highly recommend this and all of his books to help run an effective, fun and engaging Phys Ed Program - especially at the elementary level. Middle and High School I would recommend buying his other books before this one.
This book gives great games for use both in and out of the gym. Student waiting is kept at a minimum with the ideas in this book. The book is laid out very logically and diagrams are VERY clear. Many of the games are great as lead up activities for team sports. Great for upper elementary (grades 3-6).
This was a gift for my daughter who teaches First Grade at St. Charles Borromeo School in Sacramento, Ca. She is really enjoying it because she gets ideas that she can use at recess to give the children some exercise while they play. I ordered from on-line and will continue to shop from because of the quality of the merchandise, the best prices, and their policy which they stand behind. If you have any questions, you can contact them by e-mail or telephone and their staff is very helpful and willing to answer any and all questions. is my favorite on-line website for all of the above reasons.
Bought this book for my boyfriend who is going to be a PE teacher and he really likes it so far. Has a lot of games in it that he can use for older children as well which makes it nice when going from elementary to middle school age.
i bought this book for my son who is a K-5th grade gym teacher. He said the book had a lot of great ideas for this age group and definitely uses it for ideas when planning his lesson plans.
This a great resource for PE teachers. I teack K-6 and have used many of these games!!!
Love this book! Have used many of these activities for my K-5 graders, but could easily adapt for older kids.
