Educating Our Eagles - Issue 23
MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL: Net Games The week prior to vacation students in Wellness 6, Wellness 1, and Lifetime Fitness (grades 6-12) had the opportunity the play a variety of different games related to net games. Students had the chance to use a variety of different implements to play games. Striking with an implement (also referred to as the two handed strike) involves applying force to an object using an implement. Those games included ping pong, badminton, tennis, and pickleball. Each game required different types of skills in striking with an implement and speed of the game itself based on their preference. As a result of instruction students will be able to: • choose an activity based on their interested skill level. • use a variety of different long or short handled implements (tennis racquets, pickleball paddles, badminton racquets, and ping pong paddles). • learn the various rules of each game. Observations The participation on all levels by the students worked well. Most of the students had the opportunity to experience a variety of different games and activities. I think for the majority of the students, they enjoyed the variety of choices of games they played. I was glad to see student involvement.
