5.0 out of 5 stars good games, November 8, 2008
This review is from: No Standing Around in My Gym: Lesson plans, games, and teaching tips for elementary physical education (Paperback)
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).
