Sample Activities:

 

·       RULES OF THE GAME - In pairs, students select a sport or game and develop a rule packet for younger students. Students design mnemonics, raps, posters, videos, or computer games to support the rules packet. Variation: Divide the class into three groups. At each station, provide markers and chart paper. At the top of the paper write the heading “RULES,” at the next station the heading reads “STRATEGIES,” and at the third station, “SPORTSMANSHIP.” Groups rotate to each site, adding items related to the heading. Allow each group two to three minutes at each site. For example, if the sport is baseball, groups might write “three strikes and you’re out” (rules); “position your fielders for each batter (strategies); and “don’t kick dirt at the umpire” (sportsmanship). At the end of the exercise, discuss the lists and add any other ideas.
