My role was to supervise the children taking part of this activity and help them to learn to kick and throw the balls to one another. I first showed the children how to throw the ball and then asked them to each take it in turns and throw the ball to me, so I could show them how to catch it. I also used this same method to show them how to kick it towards someone gently so there were no injuries. I followed advice from my supervisor as they said to use a small group of children to do this activity. The support from me helped the children understand what they had to do and then when they had a problem they could come to me for help. The children did understand what I was…

Let me start of by being completely honest and saying that I thought your book was going to be boring and terrible. Many political books are written in a formal language that often intimidates the reader, making them feel unintelligent as well. Not only that, many authors of political books have a tendency to scold the readers for thinking a certain way. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I began to read your book. The first thing I noticed is that the language you use is simple, but not such that it seems like an elementary book. It’s written in a way a person not involved with politics can understand. I was also happy to see that this book is not about your beliefs on controversial issues such as health care or abortion, but about the game of politics, something that we all can relate to.…
Pinball is an arcade game that has been a popular gaming source for children in many years. It is usually a coin-operated game, in which points are scored by a player manipulating one or more steel balls on a play field inside a glass-covered cabinet called a pinball machine. The primary objective of the game is to score as many points as possible in the game. The higher the score, the better you are.…

It has been a proven fact that hitting a baseball is one of the toughest things to accomplish in sports. In the major leagues if you fail 7 out of 10 times you are still considered to be an incredibly good hitter. That statistic shows how challenging it is even for Athletes at the professional level to produce a perfect swing. In order to achieve this perfect swing there is a series of adjustments that must be made. In this essay I will show how hitting a baseball develops through 3 different stages of learning.…

Did you know that bowling has one of the longest and richest histories of all sports, dating back approximately 4,000 years to Greece and Rome? (Blau) Bowling is a very popular sport that is played worldwide by professionals. Bowling is a sport that you throw a weight ball down the lane to hit the pins. In bowling there is a thing called “A perfect game” and to meet that criteria you have to have 12 consecutive strikes in a row, you are not suppose to have any open frames. Otherwise to get a spare, you have to throw the ball down the lane than see if you’re able to pick up the rest of the pins that you didn’t get the first time and if you pick the leftover pins up than that is called a spare. Also, you have to have a certain or special ball and…

Recess gives children the opportunity to learn social skills that are not able to learn in the classroom. Through play, they improve their communication skills, they practice negotiation and cooperation, and they learn how to be part of a team (Murray, & Ramstetter, 2013). For instance, when children invent games to play at recess, they practice listening and communicating as the rules are negotiated and compromised. They ask questions to get clarification about how to play. Once the rules are set, they practice following them. They learn that they have to take turns and work as a team to accomplish their goals. If a conflict arises, they work on resolution skills in order that the game can continue. Many of the social skills that are needed throughout life are practiced out on the playground at recess. As important as all of those skills are, the benefits of recess extend into children’s physical well-being as…

Recently, many principals banned dodge ball at the schools in Elkton, Maryland, because they say it’s “inappropriate” and goes against teachings of things like don’t throw objects at other kids. So, they cut it out of the curriculum because most of the principals voted to get rid of it. How can you get rid of dodge ball? It’s a classic game! It goes back to the stone age! They even got rid of other games like jailbreak, which is probably one of my favorite gym games. At this rate, they may have kids wearing full body armor in gym class. These principals shouldn’t get rid of dodge ball.…
As the baseball diamond started to fade in and out of my blurry vision, I realized something was wrong when I was still sitting on the bench. I was on varsity baseball, ( that’s what I thought I was gonna spend the rest of my life doing) my grade point average was rising, and I was surrounded by positive people all around me who gave off a positive vibe. Of course all good things must to an end right? Well my good times came to end quickly.…
In modern day, training for professional athletes has become more advanced. I wanted to look at some of the techniques for training that are used by professional baseball players.

The spheres that I will focus on for Physical Activity Experience is Health, and the spheres of Scholarly Study that I will be focusing on are History and Motor Behavior. “There’s a power shift underway in Major League Baseball……
Where were most of your memories made in elementary school? Ask almost anyone, and their answer will be, “On the playground during recess!” Unfortunately, the youth of today may not have the opportunity to make those memories. As a result of the No Child Left Behind Act, more than forty percent of schools have reduced recess time, while seven percent have completely eliminated it from the school day (Pappas, 2011). With physical education only being offered to elementary students once a week, typically for forty minutes or less, recess is more important now than ever before. The absence of recess in schools will result…
