P.E. Lesson plans for High school
I think this book is a great resource for the high school P.E. teacher. I gave it four stars because because it is a great resource! I didn't give 5 starts because these work really only if you have all the needed materials. It would be even better if it gave alternative ways to teach the different sports or more sport/activities that are more accommodating to smaller schools or non-public institutions with less money.

Wow!Very nice
I have recently been selected to be the Athletic Director for a private school and I was told that I would be responsible for overseeing all students who participate in our athleitcs as well as to come up with a physical education curriculum for those who do not participate in the sports.I also was told I would interact with the elementary physical education teacher to help with developing a curriculum too.I bought this book for that, and I was really amazed on how well this book is.It breaks it down into three levels:Kindergarten to 2nd grade, 3rd to 4th grade, and 5th to 6th grade, and has lesson plans for 36 weeks.It breaks the plans down to the objective, instructional activities, fitness devleopment, lesson focus, etc.It will make my job a lot easier.Now, I need to find a book just like this for the middle school program.This book also has tear out pages, if you wish to put it into a binder.Very good book!

Only a few changes from previous edition
This is an absolutely terrific resource for all P.E. teachers.The lesson plans are easy to follow and it maps out exactly what to do for each lesson.I have the lesson plan book - thirteenth edition.This sixteenth edition was almost exactly the same.They took out relay activities and added in pedometer and fitness skills in a few lessons.If you have an earlier edition, I would not bother buying this new one.

Fast shipping, great condition
Very happy with this product as it was shipped timely and in excellent condition, as described by seller.

Product Description

This book has been a big hit with physical educators since it came out in 1989. Now it's available in a new edition that keeps all the best features of the original, adds new material, and improves the presentation, all while making the information more affordable!

The new edition is split into two books--one for the elementary level and another for middle school--so you pay only for the lesson plans you need. Each book still provides developmentally appropriate lesson plans for every day of the school year plus information on how to organize classes to best implement the lessons. You can use the time you save on developing and organizing content to focus on providing quality teacher-learner interaction.

Both new books include an introductory section that explains basic motor development concepts and effective teaching strategies. With this background information fresh in your mind, it's easy to apply the ready-to-use lesson plans for maximum effectiveness. Other helpful features new to the second editions include

- new activities, including units on health (in keeping with the increased emphasis on health-related physical activity);
- unit summaries; and
- new artwork throughout.

Physical Education for Children: Daily Lesson Plans for Elementary School includes 437 lessons for grades K-5. (Physical Education for Children: Daily Lesson Plans for Middle School features 143 lessons for grades 6-8.) The activities become more challenging as you progress through the grade levels, and new activities are added at the higher levels. For each level, you'll find units of lesson plans on the following topics:

- Organization
- Fitness
- Games and Sports
- Rhythmic Activities
- Gymnastics
- Health
- Classroom Activities

The units on organization include both general concepts and sample lesson plans that demonstrate how to conduct classes that maximize students' opportunities to learn. The classroom activities are perfect to use on rainy days or as a teaching tool in a standard classroom curriculum.

The ready-to-use, fully illustrated lesson plans feature

- student objectives,
- lists of equipment needs,
- warm-up activities,
- skill development activities, and
- concluding activities.

You'll also find an appendix at the back of the book that provides rating scales and evaluation forms to help you conduct assessments.

The Physical Education for Children books make it easy for teachers to combine program planning, lesson plan development, and effective teaching practices to provide a quality physical education program. No elementary or middle school physical education teachers, especially new teachers, should be without them.

Amazing PE Resource
I am a first-time PE teacher and have found this resource to be extremely helpful. Lesson plans are outlined in detail beginning with the warm up, to key skills, to a cool down. Lessons are targeted for various age levels. It is well-organized and full of amazing PE lessons. I love the warm up ideas!

PE Teacher's best friend!
This instructional book is fantastic. The detailed lesson plans for the whole year is very helpful. It's a PE teacher's best friend!

A godsend!
In my first year of teaching PE, I needed some help in figuring out how to meet all of California's State Standards (they were new this year). This book became a valuable resource in planning out my classes.

I used their plan and then tailored it to meet my classes (I taught nine classes K-6). I was able to identify which standard the plan met and could cut and paste to meet the needs of my students. AS only having an outdoor area to work in, I was able to use most of the plans with what equipment I had. It did lack in outdoor activities for limited areas, but I used other resources for that.

Very valuable resource!
