An excellent book on teaching sports in schools, offices, and any small spaces. A must read for every sports teacher and school principal.
In small areas one can not play like it is an international stadium. But one can plan the whole game in such a way that it can be played well with a different set of rules of the game which work well in small spaces.
Cricket, football and many other simpler games like kho-kho are covered in the book.
Janusz Korczak had an immense love and respect for children. I have not read this book much but I want to read it. I read this from the beginning of this book (in a Forward written by Ari L. Goldman):
"The little volume you are holding in your hands can change your life as a parent. It can rescue you not only from “the experts” but also from overmedicating and over-evaluating and over-obsessing about your child. It might also help you strip away the earphones, the remotes, and the computers. What children really need is someone to listen to them. How do you listen? I’ve struggled with this question both as a parent and as a journalist. Early in my career, I was an education reporter for a major American newspaper. I often went into schools to report. I’m pretty good at getting people to open up, but I could never get schoolchildren to talk to me. Korczak had some good advice. “The child is small, lightweight, and there is just less of him,” he writes. Imagine, he suggests, what we must look like to a small child. We’re big; they’re tiny. There’s only one way to talk to them, he adds: “We ought to stoop and come down to his level.” Things changed for me when I got down on my knees. Once on their level, I found I didn’t even have to ask questions. I just listened. If you’re there listening, children will talk. Children, of course, value little things far more than they value us. Korczak helps us gaze into their pockets and cubbies to see their treasures: pieces of string, nails, pebbles, beads, bits of colored glass, birds’ feathers, pinecones, ribbons and bus tickets—as he puts it, “cherished belongings and dreams of a wonderful life.” Later he adds: “Dogs, birds, butterflies, and flowers are equally close to his heart, and he feels kinship with each pebble and shell.” I shudder to think what Korczak would have thought of Game Boys. Think about it. What would you rather find in your children’s pockets? Korczak died at the hands of the Nazis in 1942. Until his dying moments he comforted the two hundred orphans he cared for in the infamous Warsaw Ghetto. If you don’t know the story of Korczak’s brilliant career and tragic death, you can read it in the final pages of this book. But what I particularly like about this volume is that it takes Korczak’s wisdom about children out of the context of martyrdom. Most people learn about him through exhibits at various museums commemorating the Holocaust. Korczak, of course, deserves a place there. But he especially deserves to be remembered for what he taught us about children and about ourselves."
