Game On

 Game On

Create a game that you could teach to an elementary physical education class. The game you develop must be geared to developing a specific skill. For example, you might want to create a game that allows students to practise their throwing accuracy or bumping skills.

Your game must be 'made up' or unique.  You may structure your game after others you have seen or participated in, but you must make changes to it that makes it 'one of a kind'. 

Games are activities that have a scoring system that is not a timed (like a relay race) or judged (like figure skating).  Remember that you are inventing a game.

Ensure your presentation of your game includes:

• a clear indication of the skills you hope to enhance by the students playing the game.
• a catchy name.
• the boundaries or playing area.
• diagrams of important features of game (play area, line up at start of game, positions of players).
• simplified rules that are easily understood by an elementary aged student.
• clearly defined scoring system.
  

You can present the game you created using any medium you want (video, presentation, written) or in combination.  If you have the opportunity to play the game, it is a good idea to get a short video of it in action to submit with your presentation.  It is not mandatory to play the game, however, sometimes by playing it, you are able to see what rules need to be tweaked or added to make the game better.
