Let's modify a game!
Get together in communities.
With the help of your teacher, brainstorm as many sports as you can remember and write them on the board.
Each community will choose one sport from the list.
Modify the sport you chose by adding rules and increasing the level of difficulty. This will help participants practice their problem-solving skills.
Use the following questions as a guide: How can we change rules requiring more thinking and decision-making? Can we add obstacles or challenges to the activity?
Let's add the modifications!
After defining the new rules, challenges, and/or modifications to the chosen sport, write the new instructions on how to play it.
Be very specific. You can use transition words like first, then, next to help your readers understand.
Exchange your modifications with the other communities in your classroom and take note of all the comments or recommendations in your notebook.
Use the communities'opinions to modify your instructions if necessary.
Let's present our modified game!
Each community will present their new modified game.
Consider the following elements for your presentation:Name of the original game, why you chose it, how to play it,what modifications you made, how this new game will help participants with decision-making, and how you will play it.
You can use pictures, drawings, a projector, material from your physical education teacher, and mime in your presentation.
After outlining your instructions, one community will try to practice the sport and verify your instructions are clear.
Answering the following questions will help you reflect on the results: Were the instructions clear and easy to understand?What would you change to make the instructions clearer? Was the modified game fun? How would you change the game to make it more fun and challenging?
