Making Up Games and Rules

This week we made up our own games, and our own rules for those games. We then played some of them in P.E. class. I did enjoy the experience of making up a new game, and then the whole class trying it out together. It's something I have never done before, and it was fun!
The games worked well, I thought. They were very creative and a lot of fun to do. I liked it as we listened to each other, set it up ourselves and expalined it to each other, as well as playing them together. The rules did make sense and I thought a lot of the games were great. We played the games around the basis of rounders. There was obstacle rounders using different obstacles in between bases, kick rounders kicking a football and hock ball using hockey sticks.
The game we made was rounders, but instead of hitting a ball with a bat, you throw a tennis ball as far as you can and run to the bases.
I enjoyed seeing what other people came up with, and it flowed well.
Rules are a key part to any game. It definitely allows for a fairer game, and when rules are broken, you can't get much out of it, and i see it as an unfair advantage.


That's it for this week!!
