The games included in this resource are best for children age 8-12. The resource includes games that are easily adaptable to PE, Music, Special Needs and Regular Classrooms. They make a great Substitute lesson, especially if the students have played the game before. Some of the games are for team building, some can be used for assessment or practice purposes. Each game is marked by “PURPOSE”. WHY TEACHERS LOVE THIS RESOURCE: The "lights" come on when I say "We're going to play games with balls!" I have the immediate attention of my students. It's not who wins but how you play the game. Play these to have lot's of fun. They are successful with my learning and behavior challenged students. Because they are easy to learn everyone can play and have a good time. These activities are great for my 5th graders. They really enjoy the quick breaks between lessons/subjects. These activities worked very well with my special needs classes. Thanks ; ) I purchased this resource for when I was working as a relief teacher. Great ideas and easy to implement. Thank you :) These games are easily put together, and perfect for brain breaks. Thank you for the resource! I love that there are the smaller activity cards for easy reference.
