School Improvement in Maryland
Games People Play
 
Overview:  Students will invent games and complete activities about how games are played. They will start by working in groups to create new games using bags of objects. They will read about the diffusion of soccer throughout the world. They will explore the need for a universal set of rules as the sport grew to international status. Then the children will apply the principle of making universal rules as they play in a class tournament and plan for a third grade tournament.
