Imagine classrooms, gyms, and playgrounds where there are no winners and losers, no elimination, and everyone participates.  Imagine having over 200 games in your bag of tricks, ranging from games for individuals and partners to whole classrooms and everything in between.

The focus of this workshop is that learning and movement are fun, and games can be a valuable instructional practice!  This year the ever-popular Active Games workshop will also include some playground activities.  By using games and activities, you will create physically active scenarios that enhance learning in the K-5 classroom, ranging from teaching behaviors to teaching content skills.

Easily used by physical education teachers, contained classroom teachers, multiage teachers, and paraprofessionals, this format addresses the cognitive development of all young learners.  Come and see why previous participants say this workshop "truly exceeded expectations."

Paraprofessionals and playground aides welcome on Monday and/or Tuesday.

Overall workshop rating at Washburn 2007 - 3.6 (4 point scale).
