Book Reviews of Gymnastics Fun & Games

Book Review: Lots of great games!
Summary: 4 Stars

I thought this book was very helpful in finding ways to liven up my classes with my younger students. Everyone knows it's not easy to come up with something new and fun to do and this is a great book that helps with just that. It's got games for kids in kindergarten up to grade school and has helpful hints on safety for your kids. It's also got a chart that helps with finding the best games for different levels of experience for each youngster. I'd say that it is a fun book and a great find. I think it is well worth the price I bought it for.

Summary of Gymnastics Fun & Games


Gymnastics Fun and Games features ready-to-use games and activities to help elementary and middle school physical educators introduce noncompetitive gymnastics into the curriculum safely and effectively. This well-organized reference includes nearly 50 illustrations to guide physical educators in accurately recreating the activity with their students. It also features safety guidelines from the USA Gymnastics Safety Handbook.

Special features include:

- 13 warm-up and stretching games and activities that are also useful as cool-down exercises
- 29 skill-development activities that focus on jumping and landing, balances and poses, body awareness, and movement
- 9 conditioning and endurance activities for children in upper grades that improve strength, balance, and flexibility
- A handy Game Finder for quick reference to games and activities by name, number, location in the book, activity type, skill development, or suggested grade level and complexity

Gymnastics Fun and Games not only allows K-8 physical educators to take a developmentally appropriate approach to teaching noncompetitive gymnastics, but it also makes a great reference for gymnastics instructors.
