Customer Reviews

Good friend for a P.E. Teacher

I teach physical education at a high school. This book has been great for two reasons. 1) Children that do not change for class have to write an article review. Reviews about each sport (detailed history is not included about every sport) are entertaining and easy to understand for students. In addition, the rules of each game are described in very good detail that I have begun to use this book as a study guide for different sports. 2) Although the book does not recommend ways to alter games that can be played in a classroom- a little creativity goes a long way. My class just finished a "Team Handball" unit that became very easy to understand with the use of pictures in the book. We used a volleyball and tape on the court and a couple of soccer goals. Worked great. I can't give this book any less than 5 stars because it is a very complete book of just about any game you could ever think of. The only issue becomes, "Who would need that?!" Well, this guy did because I am a gym teacher. If you have a reason to know about underwater football, you might like this book too. I hope my review filled your heart with glee.
