Hi I am looking for tips and suggestions on ways to modify a sport game to get more students involved. I've required them to meet goals of say, 4 passes before scoring a touchdown, playing smaller teams, but feel that something more needs to be done to draw the timid students into action. Any suggestions? |

One thing I sometimes do during a team sport game, especially if I have to have two teams play while two teams wait, is to have what I call, "sideline players." In Ultimate Frisbee, for example, the two teams would play as normal and the other two teams would play on the sideline for one team or the other on the field. They can't come on to the field but they can catch a pass and then throw a pass back to the players on the field. It doesn't give the sideline players lots of action and movement, but it can involve them somewhat and it adds another strategy element to the game. I have even done this in volleyball, and soccer. Another thing I do with soccer is to play 3 way soccer with 3 teams and 3 goals. If you have a large space that is not big enough for two fields, this allows me to have 3/4 of my students play while the other team can catch their breath and get a drink of water. |

I have younger kids but my solution is to put
kids that never play QB or catch many passes
all together so they have to do something.
All the timid kids in one game without any stars. |

Hi Sara,
There is a new game that is just beginning that incorporates just what you are trying to accomplish. In this game, there are two teams but each team is broken up into 3 strings or groups: group A (boys) play for 5 minutes: group B (girls) play for the next 5 minutes: and then group C (timid girls and boys) play for the next 5 minutes - unless they can fit in the previous two groups. But all three groups figure into their teams' score. www.revotarg.com |
