Also type activity 2-5 grade. K 1st grade went individual classrooms. worked help things come days school new students parent concerns long lines office bus problems. also gave grade levels extra half hour anything started day. worked us.
50 6 25 experience teaching Elementary PE Turkish children Dodgeball gets mixed reviews. boys love game fast pace violence competitiveness. girls shy away game gender separated game much. Personally feel dodgeball place curriculum especially South American European schools children know kick really know throw. Dodgeball great hand-eye coordination catching throwing skills. After tries grade classes wound changing dodgeball unit run handball soccer goal target. competitive losing team cries boys girls happy play cooperative team wins. bad lesson children learn about team sports eh?
51 6 25 play Dodgeball. anymore. play any game involve Human Targets. Games played dodgeball type changed elementary school classroom. children find new versions fun old way get better participation all students just "tough" get hit. Think about it... talk about sportsmanship resolving conflicts having children "be nice" hand ball tell hit other?? sense anymore. thought doing right thing changing safe equipment yarn balls foam balls came children targets hit. Developmentally find reason use dodgeball lead-up activity. professional sports leisure activities require humans be targets. anymore!
53 6 25 agree play dodgeball anymore. decided playing human target games about years ago. process diehard game harder balls foam balls throwing any person any game play. students giving ways work skills person hit. past students return Middle school tell wished teachers felt way. walked high school class couple weeks ago guess what...they playing dodgeball volleyballs less! afraid go gym. vision students cowering against walls convince inappropriate any level. wish colleagues see really dislike game TARGETS throwers. violence society teaching physical education class.
54 6 25 remember playing dodgeball growing well. loved it. remember walking gym "area" 1/2 cafeteria felt better seeing balls lined midline. believe extremely popular game believe be PE anymore reasons: 1. serious safety issue humans targets remember 6th grade hiding side girl just thrown ball seen me. ran threw hit face broke glasses. luckily injured lens cut blinded. felt terrible afterward wary game since. 2. separation extremes group students stand far back midline possible get hit.generally girls anyone think actually enjoyed PE class growing stood back all time? 3. wait time eliminated teacher reward system student point year after exemplifying model behavior may choose activity day. dodgeball may be option "special" occasions students "15 minutes fame" get pick introduce activity. conclusion believe issue be time. hopefully someday all PE teachers realize value development youth.
55 6 25 talk games human targets wonder about game tag kids love "get other". agree traditional dodgeball be appalled walk gym see game played. singles athletic elite traditional kickball scares away playing. admit playing human target game snowball fight kids favorite games choice earn extra PE period. fluff ball child barriers set middle gym save teammates handing ball frozen. play big snowfall discuss safety issues involved playing snow safe snowball making. involves teamwork cooperation cardiovascular throwing dodging catching enjoyed ALL really cowering against wall. cj
58 6 25 think dodge ball greatest game ever. involves lot locomotive skills. dodging running catching throwing hitting target. involved. variety dodge ball games play elimination. kids enjoy wanting play it. play continue play it. controversy play kids like. play tell kids want play sit out. 300 kids girl chooses sit out.
61 6 29 also problem Instructional aids come PE class assigned student. student behavior disorder mainstreamed elective classes. problem "aids" just think PE time break time just want sit handle any problems arrise. frustrating 60 kids class. course spoken about significant changes.
66 6 29 wrestled inclusion aide situation well. year considered "full inclusion". classes grade assigned room aide accompany class ALL activities. understanding accommodations students. far year aides third fourth grade inclusion rooms all behavior mod GONE come pair students "not allowed" generally deficit far learning goes. zinger aides approach kind whine ask "need" today "stuff" needs be done. exhausted bit. tossed bone PE "always" inclusion. Sure agree room 10+...you know routine! great one. teaching cupstacking unit GREAT ACTIVITY inclusion aide READING COOKBOOK! Keep keepin' on.
67 6 25 promote dodgeball class student choice day do. modify game gets clobbered. students bounce ball floor hits anyone. brings ability throw ball notch reducing chance injury. also limit number balls usually also keep game control. also modified game having students change sides hit go team try catch thrown ball teammate get back game. doubt kids really enjoy game proper modifications be fun worthwhile activity. also belive game physical educator determine type game fits teaching philosophy.
68 6 25 mixed feelings about dodgeball. kids love it! agree skills practiced game: agilities dodging cardiovascular throwing teamwork etc. reduced number times use game. child actively involved games play them. reasons playing dodgeball 2-3 times school year human target concerns. totally given game right you. actively utilizing game right you.
71 6 25 view dodgeball negatives far outweigh positives. want dodging activity cardiovascular activity throwing activity etc. find activities dodgeball maximize skill want focus. Kids "want" play vocal minority likes play future PE majors? want rock popularity boat. Following Marina's cookie example parent know kids ice cream eat main course meal. job be sure get broccoli need good nutrition job prepare broccoli way appealing them. ice cream treat dodgeball sets kids injury psychological distress frustration dislike "stuff" Gym class. Lastly throwing targets involve human targets. Cones swinging hoops just difficult hit.
72 6 25 agree dodge ball "old school" form kickballs elimination developmentally appropriate newer games think great games physical education. new gator skin foam balls hard student get hurt ways avoid elimination. really think dodge ball dangerous relatively speaking. taught 1st 6th grade matter kid falls trips wants go nurse particularly tag 5th 6th graders weight. dodge ball personal space getting cardiovascular workout having fun opposed doing fitness stations. Sure student may get mildly hurt throw 500 throws lot total amount injuries any class fail see danger foam nerf balls. think injuries blown proportion really dangerous people think agree emotional danger unathletic people. Regardless argument original dodge ball new games work too. example play game set bowling pins side students knock team's pins gator skin foam balls nerf balls. order students roll ball underhand bowling. Students allowed throw students balls be rolled bowling ball. student hit feet go side pick exercise card bowl perform exercise come back in. Students also allowed catch ball rolling feet catch ball cleanly just block ball. best game play active space rarely student injured. face physical education classes crowded modified dodge ball great way get all students involved break sweat fun get heart rates too.
75 6 25 Regarding dodgeball-The problem dodgeball PE teachers use game just throw ball any objectives mind. sports wrestling example involve getting opponent overpower win. right guidelines links standards dodgeball involve rules necessarily eliminate people teach proper throwing catching dodging skills game be educational physically challenging. PE teachers need act professional way put little effort lesson.
