Creative Physical Activities and Equipment

Book excerpt: Learn how to expand your physical education or recreation program without exceeding your budget! Veteran physical educator Bev Davison shares practical, ready-to-use strategies for making equipment using inexpensive, readily available materials and even trash; using traditional equipment in nontraditional ways; extending the life of old or broken equipment; obtaining free equipment; and organizing and executing refreshingly creative fundraisers. All of the equipment is easy to assemble - no mechanical skill is needed. Plus, the book describes dozens of unique games and activities that use the equipment to teach important skills.
