For all ages, sizes, and abilities

This DVD is what it says - it’s all of the material on Dale’s other DVDs plus video of the New Soccer tape and an interview done with him by Parent TV. It is the complete presentation of Dale’s materials made (so far)! There’s enough games here (123!) to keep your program going the whole year.

On pdf format for computers, teachers and group leaders will be glad to know that there are printable games descriptions and skill guides provided for every game. Almost every skill anyone can think of is covered in one or (usually many) more of the games. This includes basic learning skills such as listening, concentration, and following directions, but extends to math, English, and environmental awareness. Social skills such as team building, inclusion, and cooperation are reinforced. The games enhance creative thinking and expression. Also most usefully, there is a pdf guide with suggestions on how to lead the games.

There’s a lot of activity contained on this DVD, perfect for getting fit and keeping one’s weight down without the boredom of exercise! Regular participation in the games has kept the weight of the producer in check, for one. Many developmental skills such as throwing, catching, and running are enhanced. However, it must be pointed out that the games are fun - that’s why we do them. In fact, that’s the main reason for doing them, even though there are ample additional benefits derived from participating in the games.

A variety of people are shown doing the games: adults, teens, children and both girls and boys. Anyone can join since even in games where there is competition, winning is not the most important part of the game. Being able to join and have fun are the key elements of the games.

Clips 2 and 3 are taken from the Best of Cooperative Games DVD: Each game on the DVD is 2 to 3 minutes long and includes a full explanation, demonstration, and is played enough to show how it looks in action. What is shown here first are clips from a number of the games taken from the introduction with music from the same place. Following this are video and audio extracts from one of the games, Borrow It, where the goal is to get the other team's objects to your base. You can't guard the base and you can only take one object at a time, bringing the object back and placing it in your base. Each team starts at their base. If you use the quick download, the quality will not be very good but it will give you an idea of what the game looks like. The slow download will give you a better resolution. (The actual DVD offers high-quality video.) You will need QuickTime Player to view the samples. If you do not already have it, click here to download it for free.
