About the Product

Station Games presents over 40 creative and imaginative lessons that contain more than 200 station activities. Everything you need to prepare and successfully implement game stations is in this one concise resource.

Nowhere else will you find such a wide variety of station-based lessons. They’re neatly categorized by subject area and grade level for easy reference. And each lesson offers suggestions for increasing the skill level and adapting the station to meet other unit criteria or cross-curricular study alternatives.

When you’re short on time, you’ll appreciate the convenience of the at-a-glance game finder. It lists all the games, along with accurate details on objectives, skills, equipment, safety concerns, and modifications. In a matter of seconds, you can find the appropriate lesson for the day.

Informative yet pleasantly informal in tone, Station Games is packed with these helpful tips for adding game stations to your everyday curriculum:

• Detailed set-up instructions and descriptions for each game station
• Built-in objectives and outcomes for everything from reinforcement of learned skills to skill assessment at the end of a lesson
• Helpful illustrations that eliminate any question about proper execution

Station Games is the tool you need to implement reflective teaching with confidence, improve your teaching style, and help students develop health and fitness in a fun and low-pressure setting.
