Fitness Fun

The 85 games and activities in this book will help you maximize fitness in your students and find activities that they'll enjoy. These field-tested activities help students develop one or more fitness components:

Cardiorespiratory fitness
Muscular strength
Muscular endurance
Flexibility

The easy-to-use coding system lets you know at a glance which fitness components are emphasized for each activity.

Fitness Fun is divided into three sections:

• Warm-up activities--short duration to prepare for more strenuous movement
• Quick activities--used for short periods
• Main activities--make up the majority of the lesson

For each activity, you'll find complete information that tells you how to perform it, which fitness components are developed, any additional benefits, and the equipment needed. And the unique Game Finder helps you find exactly the activity you're looking for. You can use it to quickly locate games to match your students' grade level, the fitness component you want to emphasize, or the specific sport skills you want your students to develop.
