Today we set up the volleyball nets in a 4 square design. Each square was assigned a value. Square one - .25 cents, square 2 -.50 cents, square 3 -.75 cents and square 4 (the server square)- 1.00. The children either partnered up in pairs(if even) or if odd just waited in line and partnered up with the person next to them. Volleyball rules apply if the ball hits the ground you are out. The goal is to become the server and occupy the 4 square which also makes the most money. For the younger grades the teams may use the catch, toss and hit rule. For the upper grades(4-5) regular volleyball rules apply which means no catching only hitting. Before each round starts each square is given a chip corresponding to the money value. At the end of the game the team or person with the most money wins.
Students learn about money denominations and practice counting money.
Interdisciplinary Teaching- This blog was started as a way of using journals and games in physical education class to enhance and connect the learning in math, language arts and science. Now that I am a science teacher I am finding ways to use physical activity to connect the learning in physical science.
