Over 170 fun, easy-to-use games to help teach children beginning sport skills.

This book is a single source of good games "leading up" to team sports. Challenging games are the stock-in-trade of every successful physical education teacher and recreation leader. Every physical education teacher sooner or later feels the need for new and different games that will enrich, vary, and vitalize his program. These games are the means through which many of the objectives of physical education are achieved. Without them physical education programs can become dull and meaningless to students. Books written on team sports are geared usually for either boys or girls. In this book the lead-up games have been presented so that they are applicable to both boys' and girls' programs. -from Preface.
