Fun Stuff for PE Newsletter #62
November 27, 2008
Hey American readers - Happy Thanksgiving! Because I'm a Canadian, our Thanksgiving was last month, so this is a working day for me. But to console myself, I'll keep the office television tuned into the afternoon football game. Now that's something to be thankful for!
The above articles are for PE Update members-only. But how about free content? There's a link to a free eBook describing games from Australian indigenous cultures; our bi-weekly blog, discussing how it's the level of competition, not the level of skill that makes sport exciting to watch; and finally, our free article from the PE Update archives about a way to encourage participation versus winning in your intramural program.
