Ms. Schumacher from Ridgway CO is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Omnikin Action for Middle School Students. Please Help Us!

Help me give my students an opportunity to learn new games that promote being active, teamwork, and having fun. Omnikin is a game where all you have to do is not let the ball touch the ground.

My Project

I am requesting two Omnikin balls to use with my middle school students. This game seems to keep kids engaged and moving. It promotes team work and communication within your team if you want to score. There are numerous sizes of these balls, but, we are looking for the largest of them to start, then we will build on our Omnikin collection as time goes on.

My students are special because they are not typical students who play team sports.

They are more interested in individual sports such as skiing, hiking, running, etc. With this ball, we can start building on the concepts and communication needs to efficiently be able to play a game as a team.

Ms. Schumacher will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 24.
