5.0 out of 5 stars Great teaching resource, February 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Red Hot Peppers: The Skookum Book of Jump Rope Games, Rhymes, and Fancy Footwork (Paperback)

Red Hot Peppers is an excellent resource for Elementary Physical Education specialists who want to integrate reading into their gyms. I use it as a resource for rhymes to teach children a variety of rhymes for their use. Jump rope rhymes are a great way to integrate reading and poetry into the "physical" realm. For the kinesthetic student, many times the jumping rhythm will support the rhythm in reading class. Also, my third graders take it one step further and write their own jump rope rhymes (again poetry). Your classroom teachers appreciate the support and the kids love the challenge.
