by Bane Mc Cracken (Author)
An exploration of how to get children more involved in their physical education classes and how to get them to stay active beyond school. It demonstrates how to develop a programme that prepares students to be physically active for the rest of their lives. The text is divided into two parts. In Part One, the author provides a theoretical basis and practical strategies for developing a PE programme. Part Two contains tools that should make the programme easy to implement, including 170 sample lesson plans and 118 reproducible forms that teachers can photocopy for use in class or use as examples for developing their own forms. The lesson plans cover not only traditional activities such as basketball and volleyball, but also non-traditional activities, including outdoor adventure, mountain biking, fly-fishing, hiking, orienteering and downhill skiing.
