| Ultimate Flag Games: The Ultimate Motivator |
| Middle school years present challenges for students’ whole-hearted involvement in physical education activities. Ultimate Flag Games were developed in response to the lack of students’ motivation and desire to participate in activities. These games grab the students’ interest and excitement, and elicit 100% participation. The six games can be played inside or outside, as part of the educational environment or intramural / recreation leagues, and by middle school, high school, or college-aged students of either sex. This presentation will include an overview of the games, the inexpensive equipment necessary to play the games, and audience participation in game play. |
