Given for each sport or game is information on level (primary or intermediate), numbers of players, equipment, formation, and game patterns. Activities described include Crossing the Brook", which entails jumping over an area designated by parallel lines, and "One Old Cat", a softball game which involves hitting a pitched ball and running to first base and home plate. Offered are suggestions for providing artistic experiences, a short bibliography, and a list of materials.
