Dodgeball?

by Ashley B.

Dec 10, 2012

I was wondering what everyone thinks about dodge ball. I've heard mixed feelings about it. But I always remember playing it in school. What do you think? Should it be played in schools? If so, how and when?

Dodge ball is a great activity as long as the teacher can provide a safe environment for the students. The following precautions can make it an enjoyable activity. -make sure the equipment (ball) is made from dense foam -no hitting above the armpits -teacher assigned teams This can ensure a great time for the students.

Agreed with Adrian, It is a great activity that allows students to develop their skills in teamwork, hand eye coordination, and moving while trying to hit a target.

Does anyone have any suggestions for Entry 3 for National Boards? The students are supposed to be at least partly responsible for their learning and I am LOST - I think the terminology of this entry is confusing me...
