Walking Games and Activities is the first book to combine the concepts of fitness and walking as a vehicle for games. It’s a one-stop shop for teachers and activity leaders who want to teach walking in a fun way but aren’t sure how to begin.
This book provides 40 practical, easy-to-teach walking games and activities, including
- learning activities that reinforce basic health, nutrition, and safety concepts;
- games that combine fitness and problem solving;
- games that emphasize cooperation; and
- highly aerobic games.
For each activity the book presents everything teachers need to implement a successful game. The wide variety of games provides many ways to get students excited about walking. A game/activity finder at the front of the book makes it easy for teachers to find the right game for every situation. The games contain variations that teachers can use to fit different age categories; and the walking unit suggestions include guidelines for elementary, middle, high school, and college students.
Novice and experienced teachers at every level can use the fresh approach in Walking Games and Activities to keep students motivated by using walking to promote cooperation, friendly competition, fitness, and fun.
