Editorial Reviews

Review
This is a great book if you are looking for sport lead-up games. Guy Bailey has put together an excellent collection of lead-up games that is one of the most comprehensive in print.

After the initial chapter which explains the role of sport lead-up games, you'll find chapters on games for football, soccer, lacrosse, basketball, hockey, volleyball, badminton, tennis, track, softball, golf, and bowling. Each chapter includes at least a dozen or so games, with some chapters having over 20 games. Each game description includes the objective, equipment, set-up, and procedure to play. There's also an illustration for each game to help you visualize its setup. What's nice is that the games are ready to play with little or no adaptation.

This is a fantastic book to add to your book shelf. Overall, we rate this book "very good." You'll definitely find some games you can use from this book. -- Curt Hinson, editor of PE Resources

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book which provides ready to use activities., June 2, 2000
By John Rider (Vancouver, Washington) - See all my reviews
Guy Bailey provides the physical education teacher as well as the classroom teacher with a complete and comprehensive guide that presents sports lead-up games for over 150 game activities. They are user friendly and the book is very organized and easy to use. My students have really enjoyed these lead-up games. I highly recommend this book. It can also be a great tool for substitutes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use!, August 13, 2002
By Mike Stockman (Indianapolis, In United States) - See all my reviews
*****************************************************************
This book would be perfect for a PE teacher who is having a bad day and didn't plan the gym class for the next session of third graders. Just grab this book and you will have 150 ready made ideas at your finger tips!

I was interested in a specific sport lead up games and found many new ideas that easily adapted to my needs. Also discovered some interesting ideas to spice up a Soccer Camp.

It's a reference book and so it sits on the shelf a lot but when you need a great idea for activities for kids, you will reach for this one.

I would recommend for PE teachers and youth sports coaches who want to add excitement and fun into practice sessions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Basic, September 26, 2002
By A Customer
This book was the not the greatest if you have athletes in your classes. The games were general, some of them would be no fun to use. They certainly are not lead-up games, they are simply games teaching no fundementals of sports.
