Download or read book King Frog written by Michael Kinziger and published by Litfire Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2016-08-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, a game leader's "dream" book that is thorough yet succinctly written that combines group games that actually have been played and that participants immensely enjoy. Here in one book are all the elements for effectively leading and participating in group games that are fun, that require little or moderate equipment, that range from high to low energy, and that can be played with players from all ages. The unique and consistent game template with a game on each page is easy to follow and results with leaders and players getting the most out of the activities. If you ever wanted to own just one book--one game book--this is it! Inside you will find the one hundred very best group games ever played, along with key terminology, play statements, effective teaching techniques. It Power guidelines, methods to select teams, learning theory, guidelines for processing the games, tournament information, and a creative game matrix with nearly three million different combinations of games. Playing games can be lots of fun. Leading games can be quite rewarding. The information in this book provides an opportunity to maximize both the fun and effectiveness of leading play activities. Every game in this book has been played and replayed, analyzed and tweaked, and written from the heart by an author who loves to have fun, laugh, and see others caught up in the enjoyment of play. Games are not just frivolous or about playing; people tend to play the way they live their lives also. We can learn a lot about players when games are a "tool" to observe human behavior. Effective leading and leaders who ask the "good" questions can make the play experience more powerful. The "template" format of the book is unique and treats each game as a serious endeavor. Nearly all games include the same "ingredients," what a great idea to prepare them with consistency. Variations and safety considerations to each game create new and fun possibilities. Games can be used for many, many purposes. So why not be realistic and include tag, guessing, competitive, collective score, team building, problem solving, relay, and name games? Why not let the leaders and the people who buy the book decide how they will use the material? The appendices and all the support material make leading these games much easier and more fun for all involved. The Creative Game and Play Matrix is a special addition. In the past, hundreds of games have been created from the matrix, and here is my observation: children tend to create games where (1) all children play--no one has to wait in line; (2) children rarely eliminate players from the game as the game continues; and (3) children seldom create games that require hitting. Those seem to be adult concepts!

Download or read book Exemplary College Science Teaching written by Robert E. Yager and published by NSTA Press. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Since K–12 students taught using the new [Next Generation Science Standards]will be arriving in college classrooms prepared in a different way from those in our classrooms currently, it would behoove college teachers to be prepared to alter their teaching methods ... or be perceived to be dinosaurs using the older teaching methods.” — From Exemplary College Science Teaching If you’re looking for inspiration to alter your teaching methods to match new standards and new times, this book is for you. As the first in the Exemplary Science series to focus exclusively on college science teaching, this book offers 16 examples of college teaching that builds on what students learned in high school. Understanding that college does not exist in a vacuum, the chapter authors demonstrate how to adapt the methods and frameworks under which secondary students have been working and make them their own for the college classroom, adding new technologies when appropriate and letting the students take an active role in their learning. Among the innovative topics and techniques the essays in this book explore are • Lecture-free college science teaching • Peer-led study groups as learning communities • Jigsaw techniques that enhance learning • Inquiry incorporated into large-group settings • Interactive video conferences for assessing student attitudes and behaviors The clichéd image of the professor droning on before a packed lecture hall is a thing of the past. The essays in this book explain why—and offer the promise of a better future.
