For
any physical education instructor whose lesson plans were thwarted
by bad weather, lack of facilities or a scheduling conflict, there’s
a new book that capitalizes on limited-space activities. Just released No
Gym? No Problem! includes nearly 100 “pilot-tested and engaging
games and activities.”
Is
Sport stacking a part of this??
You guessed it, sport stacking with Speed
Stacks is high on the list and received three and a half pages of coverage.
In fact, the author Charmain Sutherland wrote a personal note to Bob
Fox, president and founder of Speed Stacks, thanking him for what he
has done in the field of physical education. “Kids
love Speed Stacks and sport stacking,” she said.
According
to Sutherland, sport stacking with Speed Stacks and the other activities
included in her book:
- meet
National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) standards,
- use
equipment effectively and efficiently in tight spaces,
- overcome
space limitations, giving children a safe environment in which
to learn and grow; and
- minimize
time and budget demands.
Says Human
Kinetics, "The activities presented may be used individually or mixed
and matched to create lesson plans and activity sessions that reinforce
your objectives for skill, concept, or fitness development. Whatever
your goals, No Gym? No Problem! provides you with all the tools you
need in order to safely execute limited-space activities and provide
children with the best possible learning environment. The book provides
complete lesson plan with an activity, with everything the professional
needs."
| So what's
the conclusion and link to real life?? - "Sport
stacking is much newer than soccer, but it is growing, has
value, and is now considered a sport. You will need new skills
for this activity and will have to practice to improve. Doing
is believing." |
