I've bundled 4 of my latest and greatest games that have not made their way to a future book just yet. They are fitness-based games that will teach and reinforce money concepts in a fun and energetic way. Cold Hard Cash (2-8) OBJECTIVE: The game of Cold Hard Cash is a cooperative challenge that provides a great way to introduce counting money, while integrating multiple fitness activities in the attempt to enhance persistence, teamwork, and comradery. Risky Business (2-8) OBJECTIVE: It’s sometimes “Risky Business” trying to make money in today’s society, but with some hard work and some potential low or high risk investments, you can really make it big! The game of Risky Business is a cooperative challenge that provides a great way to introduce money recognition and counting money, while integrating running and fitness in the attempt to enhance persistence, teamwork, and comradery. What’s in Your Piggy Bank? (K-5) OBJECTIVE: What’s in Your Piggy Bank? is a great prerequisite to all of the money-based games in this book. The game was basically designed to reinforce fitness while introducing and/or reinforcing money recognition and money values. What’s in Your Wallet? (3-8) OBJECTIVE: What’s in Your Wallet? will reinforce and provide multiple practice opportunities to deepen student comprehension of basic mathematical and money concepts. The combination of money and math fundamentals, fitness, and teamwork forces teammates to strategize and think while constantly exercising to solve 10 money word problems quicker than the opposing teams. -
I’m excited to share with you my latest creation and 6th book of my 7 book series, HyPEd Up II! Physical Education Games to the Max. HyPEd Up II includes 25 new games with 100+ pages and TONS of diagrams and pictures. Being around children has taught me so many things over my 33+ years of teaching elementary physical education. I have embraced the notion that physical educators have a major impact on whether or not physically active children grow up to become physically active adults. With that thought in mind, I have asked myself numerous times… “at the end of the day, the end of the year, the end of my students’ elementary physical education experience, what is the number one outcome I want each child to take away from their time with me?” There are MANY learning outcomes and targets that I establish within my physical education curriculum. However, if I had to choose one overall outcome, it would have to be that all children would leave realizing that movement is FUN and that they want movement to be a part of their lives forever. Ultimately, my goal for each child is that they come to the conclusion that they will not be fully content in life unless they are actively pursuing lifelong fitness. It is my pleasure to present to you HyPEd Up II! Physical Education Games to the Max! A book of games and activities designed with play and fun with a PURPOSE. This book is a guide to enhancing any physical education program by giving the teacher suggestions of activities to be implemented as stand-alone activities or as follow up activities to reinforce a particular learning target(s).

As I approach the end of my career, I look back at my teaching evolution from being a scared, young educator, with no idea how to really teach children, to a veteran author-teacher-mentor who truly loves the physical education profession.
