Activities Ideal for Small Groups

Whether used at home, at camp, or during small-sided games in PE classes, the activities outlined in this book make the most of small-group play. Games rely on smaller groups to ensure everyone gets involved and contributes. The result are games that build confidence in individuals and that foster team cooperation. There are 7 types of activities laid out in this book, giving teachers the ability to choose a game that’s best fitting to lessons or group of students.

A Superior Resource

Each of the 104 game variations in this book is backed by research. Games are backed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) research, the Canadian Sport for Life Model, and the proven Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) approach.

Activities are also easy for instructors to quickly understand and relay to students. The 232-page book comes with complete explanations, as well as photos and illustrations to describe them. Included suggestions help teachers understand and modify the core facets of the game to best suit their students.
