A physical education teacher and an educational consultant show K-12 teachers how to incorporate simple movement activities into classroom lessons and how to use short activity breaks to keep students focused. Writing in plain language, they review research supporting the use of movement in the classroom, and provide a six-step framework that allows teachers to introduce movement into the classroom at their own pace. One chapter is devoted to classroom management issues when using movement. The rest of the book presents 170 movement activities for various grades and ability levels. Most activities use little or no equipment, and many can be performed in two minutes or less. Some of the activities are designed to build class cohesion. About 60 of the activities specifically teach and review academic content through movement. The book includes a b&w illustrations of some basic exercises. The authors both teach at Gratz College of Pennsylvania and The College of New Jersey. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
