| Violence Protection: A Games Approach |
| Nothing is getting more attention in the media today than child abuse and violence
among children and youth. Physical education has a golden opportunity to contribute
to the solution of this problem. This program will present a five stage model of
protection from violence (awareness, avoidance, prevention, physical action and
follow through) and a number of games that teach the concepts and skills of each
stage. To the children, the games are fun. However, there is an important message in
each one. To assure that this comes across, a short "debriefing" discussion is
conducted at the end of each activity. Demonstration, audience participation and
handouts will enable you to add this relevant unit to your curriculum at the elementary
and middle school level. |
