Goal

Meeting our goals for team building: All equipment will be used to improve our student's "team building" skills.
"Ollie the Octopus", "Stella the Starfish", and "Sid the Spider" sets will be used to promote our students "team building" skills! Students work together to launch and catch these special creatures! Students work in teams to launch and catch- students will receive points when they are successful! Working together for a common goal will be our mission!
The "Action! Bonkerzball Set" will promote "team building" by students trying to work together as a team and be the first one to move their target across the throwing line! Showing good sportsmanship and learning how to target throw, and catch in a teamwork atmosphere will be our main goal!
Omnikin Ultra Balls will be used to increase and promote "team building" by introducing a variety of games and activities in a team setting. Students learn problem-solving skills, cooperation skills, and the ability to collaborate with others!

What will be done with my students

All student's in our school will be able to use this new equipment! All four Physical Education teachers will be able to oversee and monitor all activities with our new "team building" equipment! We would use the equipment immediately in our Physical Education classes!

Currently, we use parachutes for our character education unit- “Ollie”, “Stella”, and “Sid the Spider” will be used with these parachutes to teach our students how use parachutes, work together in teams and participate with a common goal in Physical Education!
The “Bonkerzball” set will allow students to participate in a team setting to learn how to “target” throw and catch. Student work together to try to get the “bonkerzball” across team lines!
The “Omnikin Ultra” Balls will allow students to play on teams - 1.) to work together (team work skills)with their classmates to have fun! 2..) learn new rules, games and activities 3.) to accomplish the goal of collaboration with teammates, problem solving, and sportsmanship!
New games to be played- “the blob” tag, “ the corridor”, monster truck”, “kinball”, and “parachute hijinks”. 

 

Benefits to my students

Our students would “LOVE “ this new equipment!!

There is such a great need for “team building” equipment in Physical Education programs.
Measurable outcomes:

Observation by instructors and positive feedback from students will be used for our ultimate outcome. Improved behavior, teamwork and collaboration by student teammates and sportsmanship will be our ultimate goal.

Standards met will be:
PE.K.M.1.9- Throwing a variety using an overhand motion.
PE.1.C.2.8- To demonstrate and identify movement concepts.
PE.3.R.5.1-List ways to work cooperatively with peers of various skill levels.
PE.4.R.6.1-Discuss how physical activity can be a positive opportunity for positive social interaction.

A performance assessment will be given to our students for evaluation /project output.

Team Building improves and promotes communication, creativity, leadership, problem-solving, boosts morale, promotes health, and boosts team spirit! Students would have fun learning in using the new equipment -but would also learn valuable skills that could be used in everyday life. Our school would benefit greatly if we received this equipment!
