5.0 out of 5 stars "Recess Success!" is also very highly recommended to the attention of parents and youth counselors, May 12, 2007

This review is from: Recess Success!: 251 Boredom-Busting Games & Activities for the Elementary School Playground (Paperback)

A physical education teacher at the elementary and middle school levels for more than 24 years, Guy Bailey has compiled and presented 251 fun and `kid friendly' games and activities in "Recess Success!", a `how to' guide for teachers wanting to engage their students in movement oriented and recreational activities that will help them develop physically fitness and cognitive abilities while thoroughly enjoying themselves in their recess breaks, lunch time periods, physical education classes, and afterschool leisure hours. Each game is presented with clear descriptive instructions and everything necessary for a good time by the children, including the number of players required, suggested grade level, equipment needed, and illustrations. Of special note is the chapter devoted to classroom appropriate games for rainy days. "Recess Success!" is also very highly recommended to the attention of parents and youth counselors because these are games and activities that can be readily adapted to children in church, camp, and community youth center recreational settings.

This is the second book I have bought from Mr. Murphy. I have taught elementary PE for 23 years. I have about 100 books on the subject. I find this one, to be like the other one of his that I reviewed ("...Big Book...") to be outstanding! Great/easy to learn games and graphics to help with the learning of the games!

Thank you Mr. Murphy,

Dean
