But learning the tactics and skills so that        they can more fully enjoy them and do well at them is not easy. And the        traditional, highly structured, teacher-directed approach of teaching        the tactics and skills separate from the games themselves makes the        process quite boring for the kids—who, after all, just want to play the        game.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e             \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Enter \u003ci\u003eTransforming Play: Teaching Tactics and Game Sense.\u003c\/i\u003e This        book uses a games approach that not only works but that kids love.
