It shifts the emphasis away from competitive games in favor of activities that allow all students to succeed, ensuring maximum student involvement and a positive experience for all. These 107 activities take a developmentally appropriate approach to skill development and fitness. You?ll be able to meet a range of individual needs while motivating kids to participate in lifelong physical activity and meeting the NASPE standards for skill and fitness development. The book has an easy-to-follow format that allows you to mix and match activities to create a multitude of fresh, new lessons to keep your students moving and learning. Chapter 1 provides straightforward, practical information on developing and implementing a program for maximum student success. Chapters 2 through 5 are organized along the lines of a complete lesson: instant activity and warming up (chapter 2), developing fitness (chapter 3), developing core skills and enhancing motivation (chapter 4), and concluding the lesson and cooling down (chapter 5). Finally, chapter 6 provides ideas for activities that celebrate individual and program success, which involve parents and community members. Several features make this book particularly teacher-friendly. In the opening pages you?ll find an activity finder?an easy-to-read chart that summarizes key information about each activity, including the age for which it is intended, the lesson component it covers, and the health-related fitness component it fulfills. You can use the chart to pinpoint the activities that best meet your students? needs. For those activities listed as core activities, you?ll also find a list of the skills each activity develops: throwing and catching, striking and kicking, volleying and dribbling, movement and balance, skill combinations and techniques, or strategies and communication. The activities themselves are presented in a clear, easy-to-digest format that provides everything you need to introduce the activity successfully: ? Age-level icons indicate at which age group?primary or intermediate?to use the activity.

? An overview summarizes the activity and explains how it fits into a lesson plan.

? An equipment list shows you at a glance what you?ll need.

? A preparation section helps you get ready.

? Step-by-step instructions show you how to present the activity to your students.

? Hints and modifications make your teaching more effective, create individual variations for students, or increase the challenge for students. Every activity in this book has been field-tested and proven successful. If you want to create successful experiences that will not only help students develop basic skills and fitness but also leave them with a desire to return for more, then Mix, Match, and Motivate your way to success.
