  • Street Soccer
    STREET SOCCER Street soccer, pick-up game, sandlot soccer or a kick-about whatever title you give to the format the idea is to give the game of soccer back to the players. Past generations learned to play the game on their own with other kids in the neighborhood or at school in these kid organized games. Today youth sports are overly adult controlled and influenced. It’s difficult today for youngsters to have a pick-up game since the streets have too many cars, the sandlot now has a mini- mall on it and parents are reluctant, with good cause, to let their child go blocks away from home on Saturday to play in a game on his or her own. Street soccer is a way for soccer clubs to give the game back to the players in the community. Once a week, or whatever frequency fits the circumstances the best, a club can have organized spontaneity. The club will provide the fields and supervision. Adults will be on site for safety and general supervision, but otherwise it is all up to the players to organize the games. The adults should NOT coach, cheer, criticize, referee or in any other way involve themselves in the game. The best bet for parents is to drop off their child, go run some errands, and then come back to pick up your child an hour or two latter. The coaches are on site NOT to coach, but to supervise, be on hand for any serious injuries and any severe discipline problems. Additionally the coaches are there to provide the game equipment and to let the players know when each game segment starts and stops.

  • 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.

  • Class 7 (English) 4. Game on Sec. 1 Hop, Skip and Jump
    Class 7 (English) 4. Game On Sec. 1 Hop, Skip and Jump Summary:- This section is about a street game called Hopscotch in English. This game played on the streets is usually a simple playtime activity that children do in their neighbourhood. This game is played all over India and is known by many names such as stapu, ekhat-dukhat, kith-kith, kunte bille, paandi, tokkudu billa and khane. To play the game, the player draws a grid of 8 squares on the ground with numbers from 1 to 8. The player tosses a marker into the first square and hops till the eighth square. Here the player turns around and hops back till the second square to pick up the marker from the first square and steps out. The player again tosses the marker into the second square and the game continues until all the squares have been played. There are certain rules and variations that add to the fun and difficulty level of the game. A player is considered out if the marker does not land in the right square, touches the borders of the grid or if the player touches the borders accidentally. Hopscotch is not only played in India but it is also a popular game with different names across the world. It is known as laylay in Persian, escargot in French and himmel und holle in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. There is another version of this game called Number Hopscotch. Here there is no need of tossing a marker. All they need is to just keep hopping on one foot without stepping on the wrong square.

CONTACTS Please direct any questions to the student editors, Brenna Cameron and Amelia Davis at [email protected] UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO ANSCHUTZ MEDICAL CAMPUS FOREWORD DEAREST READER, You hold in your hands a slice of local history. This is the story of how the University of Colorado students, faculty, and Denver/Aurora community chose to respond to extreme adversity during the COVID-19 pandemic: with creativity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to each other. After clerkship rotations and didactics became virtual—along with what felt like the entire city shutting down—we were asked to help guide our peers through this confusing, frightening new world. This movement was the brainchild of a handful of Colorado medical students and faculty who came together during the start of the pandemic to serve a new need in our community. We were also grappling with our identity as professionals, feeling both called to action and also scared for our own lives, as we faced the start of our careers in the midst of a deadly pandemic, along with so many other workers, families, and communities.
