My Project

Many times students spend most of the day in the classroom seated at desks while in school. Physical education is only scheduled a few times a week but students need daily exercise or they won't grow up healthy and fit. I have at times taken my students out to play games but it's always a hassle because of the variety of interests among the children and the lack of equipment. It would be great to have a variety of sporting equipment students can interact with in order to get their necessary daily exercise.

I can imagine my students joy at being able to select from activities like basketball, soccer, double dutch, baseball and much much more.

By having the variety of sporting equipment each day could be like a new discovery inline with their interests or maybe discovering something new. There will always be some type of sporting equipment for each student to get their heart rate up and exercising.
