My Project

Recess is the perfect opportunity for students to interact with peers while also playing games they love. In upper elementary-aged students, football is a huge interest. Students are provided with plenty of space to play the game; however, two-hand touch rules tend to get out of hand.

These blow up receivers would provide our students with a safer football gameplay opportunity.

By providing students with the materials needed to be safer while playing, we hope to lessen football injuries and increase the fun of outdoor play. This project would benefit students across several grade levels.
