Book excerpt: Motor games are incredibly useful in enhancing education and developing critical skills; they can entertain, produce pleasant emotions, improve moods, and increase the level of relationships. Motor games allow social, emotional, and cognitive development as well as the acquisition of motor skills such as knowledge and mastery of body, postural control and adjustment, and improvement of coordination. However, it is essential to select the appropriate game for each context to achieve the desired learning in all students. Further research on the opportunities, challenges, and future directions of motor games in education is necessary to successfully implement them. The Handbook of Research on Using Motor Games in Teaching and Learning Strategy presents significant advances in motor game education and collects research evidence that uncovers the certainties and testifies to the educational power of motor games in various situations and specific contexts that promote the learning of participants. Covering topics such as emotional physical education and educational mediation, this major reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, educators, practitioners, and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Games and Programs: For Church, School, and Home The program of the modern forward-looking church, school or community includes the recreational and social as well as the distinctive educational in its plans and activities. Such a plan recognizes the significant truth that the proper use of leisure time is fully as important a problem in present-day society as the profitable use of work time. It acknowledges that the play and recreational interests often afford the most favorable approach to youth, and one of the surest anchorages by which to hold its young members from drifting away. Hence such new vocations within the church and community as "Director of Recreational Activities" and "Club Leader." Many of those who have assumed responsibility either professionally or in an amateur way for this phase of social enterprises have felt the need of a compilation of suitable games, plays, etc., for use by different ages and different kinds of groups. Various books have been published in this field, some dealing chiefly with matters of theory, organization, and the like, and others outlining programs for certain special occasions. What has been lacking is a rich compendium of games, plays and social recreations so classified and described that leaders may with economy of time and effort build balanced programs from these materials suited to every possible occasion. This volume is offered to meet such a need. It contains over three hundred distinct play or game units, each with simple directions easily followed by an intelligent leader even without technical training.
