Adapted Games and Activities, written by Pattie Rouse, is a book for adapted physical activity teachers, camp directors, or recreational therapists who work with students who have intellectual disabilities. The focus is to make play fun so that participants are motivated to learn new motor and sport skills and concepts and to improve fitness. Contents include teaching motor, sport, and social skills for developing fitness levels; examples of teacher-directed activities, including non-eliminating tag, chase, and dodge games; team building and cooperative activities for developing self-esteem, respect, and trust; higher-organization games and activities for higher-functioning or older students; and sport and leisure activities that can be integrated into a lifetime of fitness. The book includes pictorial examples of games, a game locator index, and a short reference list.
