Kids love to move—especially when that movement is connected with searching for hidden things, collecting objects, and completing tasks that change the appearance of something. All Active: 35 Inclusive Physical Activities offers ways to get children moving and develop skills by setting fun and challenging goals for them to achieve.
- Offer 35 creative games and activities suitable for children ages 5 to 12 with and without disabilities
- Develop balance, improve fitness, and build locomotor, manipulative, and other skills
- Facilitate low-cost or no-cost activities that use common equipment
- Use step-by-step instructions and teaching tips to easily implement the activities
Packed with new, creative ideas for facilitating games, All Active offers not just lesson plans but a framework that shows how to use equipment in fun game situations. The games are developmentally appropriate for children ages 5 to 12 years with and without disabilities. The book includes 37 photos and diagrams to help teachers and leaders see how to set up the activities, and dozens of practical tips make the activities easy to implement. Each activity comes with clear instructions and provides information on objectives, equipment needs, setup, and game play. The “Teacher Tips” at the end of each activity offer suggestions for adapting the game for children with disabilities as well as ways to make the game more or less challenging.
All Active: 35 Inclusive Physical Activities will provide teachers and recreation leaders with practical and effective ideas to teach and practice basic motor skills. And it will help kids find purpose—and joy—in movement!
