La diversión, la alegría, la exploración de las propias posibilidades y la relación con los demás se mantienen para quienes participan en la actividad lúdica, al margen de definiciones y categorías. Lo importante para quien juega es el juego mismo. En consecuencia, desde esta perspectiva, no resulta funcional establecer una definición que permita categorizar inequívocamente una conducta como lúdica. Por lo tanto, debemos distinguir entre lo que es actividad lúdica de lo que no lo es. Para ello, el libro comienza refiriéndose a los rasgos que diferentes investigadores han atribuido al juego para, con posterioridad, buscar una solución ecléctica en su definición. Dividido en tres partes, el libro empieza con una introducción a lo que es el juego, para introducirse, seguidamente, al juego vinculado a la actividad física y finalizar con actividades lúdicas cooperativas y educación física. El libro incluye, además, 263 fichas de juegos. Cada una de ellas describe: la situación inicial, el desarrollo del juego, las variantes y un análisis de contenidos.

Propuesta de 13 Unidades Didcticas para desarrollar en 4 curso de Educacin Primaria en el rea de Educacin Fsica.

Motor games are incredibly useful in enhancing education and developing critical skills; they can entertain, produce pleasant emotions, improve moods, and increase the level of relationships. Motor games allow social, emotional, and cognitive development as well as the acquisition of motor skills such as knowledge and mastery of body, postural control and adjustment, and improvement of coordination. However, it is essential to select the appropriate game for each context to achieve the desired learning in all students. Further research on the opportunities, challenges, and future directions of motor games in education is necessary to successfully implement them. The Handbook of Research on Using Motor Games in Teaching and Learning Strategy presents significant advances in motor game education and collects research evidence that uncovers the certainties and testifies to the educational power of motor games in various situations and specific contexts that promote the learning of participants. Covering topics such as emotional physical education and educational mediation, this major reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, educators, practitioners, and students.
