  • J.A.M. (Jump and Move): Practical Ideas for JR4H Heart Links Instant
    J.A.M. (Jump And Move): Practical Ideas for JR4H Chad Triolet – [email protected] Chesapeake Public Schools 2011 NASPE Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year www.PErocks.com www.noodlegames.net www.youtube.com/user/NoodleGames Heart Links Heart Links are a great way to make some connections for students regarding fundraising and the importance of exercise in building a strong and healthy heart. We use this activity during our Jump Rope for Heart week as a “rest station”. Students complete one heart link each class period and are asked to write down one thing they can do to be heart healthy or a heart healthy slogan. They can decorate them if they would like and then they place them in a basket so that the links can be put together. During class, we connect some of the links then talk about the links at the end of the class as a culminating discussion about the importance of fundraising and exercise. Fundraising – Sometimes a small amount of money does not seem like it makes a difference but if you use the heart chain that is created as an example, students realize that when the links are added together they make a huge chain that goes around the gym. So, every little bit of money collected, no matter how small, adds up and can make a difference. Exercise – In much the same way, daily exercise doesn’t seem like it would have a big effect on how healthy your heart can be. The visual of the heart chain helps the students understand that if you exercise each day, it adds up and builds a strong and healthy heart.

  • NONCOMPETE GAMES 2018.Cdr
    WHY NONCOMPETITIVE RECREATION? THE ANSWER: COOPERATIVE GAMES The concept behind noncompetitive recreation can be either hard to understand or hard to accept or both! So who needs games nobody loses? Too often games have become rigid, judgmental, too highly organized and excessively goal-oriented. Have you seen children left out, eliminated to sit out, always chosen last, rejected and wondered why? Many children quit organized sports early because of pressure or they don’t feel they are good enough. We need to find ways for plain old fashioned fun Cooperative games offer a positive alternative. These interactive games provide opportunities for challenge, stimulation and success while eliminating the fear of failure. They foster greater communication, trust, social interaction, acceptance and sharing. Children play with one another instead of against one another. As partners instead of opponents we compete against the limits of our own abilities instead of against each other. Everybody must cooperate in order to accomplish the goals or meet the challenge. The beauty of the games lies in their versatility and adaptability. In most cases there is inexpensive or no equipment necessary. Rules need not to be strictly adhered to. Instead of being eliminated, players change roles or sides or teams and keep playing. Players can work out their own details. These games can reaffirm a child’s confidence in their selves and help them in their willingness to try new experiences. You can bring out creativity and even a boldness they never knew they had. The games can help build a “WHY NOT?” Attitude. NEVER lose sight of the fact that the primary reason children play games is to have fun.

Her guidance, encouragement, love, and support are the unseen threads that hold this work together. In addition to Jamie, I would like to thank our two sons, Oliver and Peter. Their curiosity and joy are what have driven me throughout this long process. Many of the video games mentioned throughout this dissertation were played with them at my side, stomping Koopa Troopas or vanquishing evil from the land of Hyrule. I would also like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, Joshua Daniel- Wariya, Lynn Lewis, Anna Sicari, and Tutaleni Asino. Their knowledge, wisdom, mentorship, energy, and labor have made this all possible. As a long time English major, it is common to see acknowledgement sections with nods to the authors and writers who have blazed the trail before them and inspired them to take up the study of language and literature.
