Middle School Games to get Gamers Outside!

Help me give my students activities to move at recess, and after school dances with the Pickleball yard game will give the students another alternative to play while outside at the after-school fun nights.

My Project

Our Middle School students love to play games. Currently, we have a Gaga Ball pit, a couple of volleyball nets, and a couple of basketball hoops outside for them to learn to play cooperatively. Unfortunately, we have to share the balls with the gym classes so they tend to get ruined in the sandy ball pit. We would like a couple of balls that could be used solely for Gaga Ball or volleyball. Adding the Pickleball set will give a few more students another option.

We want to get our middle school gamers outside and playing games instead of staring at screens!

Our goal for this project is to have about one night a month during the school year where students can dance, play outside, and hang out with their friends. We need the athletic materials so that more students can participate.
