Welcome to weissice.com, an educator's source for physical education games.

My name is Howie Weiss. I am dedicated to promoting best practices in physical education. I believe that all physical education lessons should start with fun, include fitness and social education and help instill a love for life long movement. It is my hope that you will find this web site an outstanding resource for your physical education program.

I love to create physical education games. I have been devising exciting physical education games for the past 30 years. I also believe with the help of this web site and my book, you too will be able to create your own standard based physical education games. I will be sharing my expertise on my web site and in my book: Fun, Fitness, and Skills - The Powerful Oringinal Games Approach." You can find my book on the Human Kinetics Web Site.
