My Project

My students have been learning about football and the rules and I would love to give them the opportunity to play the game in a safe way. We talked about how Flag Football will now be in the Olympics which is amazing! This equipment will help them understand the game by actually playing flag football and also the scoreboard can be used for all of our other units throughout the year as well. My goal for this project is to give my students the opportunity to learn a new and exciting game that teaches them cooperation and teamwork and also keeps them healthy at the same time!
