Games: Gym Activities Made Easy and Simple - Paperback

by Tom Caione (Author), Jim Eagan (Joint Author)

Turn your gymnasium or playground into that magical space that your students will look forward to visiting week after week. Jim Eagan shares over 60 of his tried and tested activities developed over his 40 year career as one of the top Elementary Physical Education Teachers in New England. This book delivers a unique set of individual Physical Education activities that incorporate all of the components of an outstanding curriculum. Each of these activities (games), in many cases, has been modified over the course of several years to better meet the individual needs of today's physical education students. Not only is this a terrific resource for new teachers, but it will help experienced teachers introduce new activities into their established curriculum. The students will love these activities. Detailed instructions with diagrams, and in many cases, "modifications," are provided for every activity. This publication will also be an invaluable tool in helping Principals, Physical Education Directors, and even Camp Directors, to provide their staff members with a complete "skill based" set of over 60 activities that are easy to implement in even the most challenging teaching environments.
