One Hundred Gymnastic Games (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From One Hundred Gymnastic Games The Need Of A Compact, Practical Collection Of Games For Gymnastic Teachers Has Led To. The Preparation Of This Book. The Aim Has Been To Make It Simple And Direct, And To Give A Few Suggestions That May Be Helpful In Its Use. It Has Seemed Best To Arrange The Material Under Three Heads Rather Than To Plan An Orderly Progression, Which Would Separate Widely Games Of Like Character. Games Are Valuable In Physical Education As A Test Of What The Pupil Has Gained From His Gymnastic Training In Alertness And SelfControl, And Also As A Means Of Training Him Yet Further In These Directions And In Moral Qualities As Well. This Physical, Mental, And Moral Training Must Go Hand In Hand With Joyous Recreation, Which Is Essential To Any Game Played In The Right Spirit. The Collection Has Been Made With These Thoughts In View; And, To Insure Its Being Practical, The Greater Number Of Games Have Been Played Or Used In Our School And Gymnasium Work.
