5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one for homeschoolers!, June 8, 2002

By A Customer

As a homeschooling mom of three boys I have searched long and hard for a book that would give me ideas for P.E. class. This P.E. series is the answer to my prayers. It includes hundreds of activities, fully explained and illustrated including a list of required equipment. Although some activities are for big groups, there are lots of activities for one or two children. They include lesson plan suggestions and blank lesson plans for making up your own. Some of the lessons involve using equipment not likely to be found in the home but a great deal of the lessons involve very simple materials like hoola hoops, balls, bean bags, etc. I highly recommend this series for homeschoolers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Teaching, April 29, 2000

By	Dawna Sipe (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews

I used this book in my student teaching at the University of Arizona and plan to use it when I teach. It is full of age appropriate activities that any teacher can use. I also purchased the others in the series and highly recommend those. Every teacher interested in developmentally appropriate activities should get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful Ideas for teachers, October 30, 2004

By	Farrah Mayea, Grade 1 Teacher (Atikameg, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews

This book has an abundance of great PE games and activities for teachers who have little experience or familiarity teaching PE right up to different ways of teaching mandatory skills for the experienced teacher. Many of the activities need few or no equipment which is good for many teachers who work in schools with few resources. I highly recommend this book to any early primary teacher.
