My Project
Students have lost the ability to play and the willingness to challenge themselves because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many students found themselves sedentary and isolated during the lockdowns. With this equipment, we will be able to create movement opportunities for students to develop communication and cooperative skills that will transfer from the game setting to other life situations. Students will become critical thinkers, effective communicators, creative innovators, and responsible collaborators. Even though dodgeball is printed on the ball they are used for so many other activities, dodgeball being the least of them. Some of the activities that use these balls are ab/core workouts, partner and group challenges, as well as competitive games.
I have also asked for electronic hand-held whistles, which allow for quick transitions without having to share and sanitize whistles.
The pop-up soccer goals are super amazing! They take almost no storage space and can be used for everything from soccer - to team handball - to lacrosse - really any goal game.
The beach paddle ball set will allow us to include all students - it can be played with the small balls that come with it or rhino balls so all students can be included - a bigger ball can allow students with vision impairments and hand-eye coordination challenges to be successful and feel included in games.
