Realistic movement activities that include all...

I ordered a few books similar to this one but I am most impressed with this book. The activities seem realistic to do even with a larger number of children. You don't need a bunch of complicated equipment either. Some games require beanbags, balls, hoola-hoops, jump ropes, or nothing at all. Some games are the traditional ones like Duck, Duck, Goose, Red Light, Green Light, and Hot Potato but are modified a little bit to keep all the children engaged. The book is organized nicely and the instructions for each game is simple and easy to understand. I am looking forward to implementing these activities in my classroom.
