You may remember the game Dodgeball from your elementary years. Did you know that school districts in Texas and Maine banned the game in 2001? Is dodgeball a good, clean game or is it a mean-spirited sport? Some would argue that dodgeball is a fun way to teach skills such as concentration and hand-eye coordination. Others argue that it is too violent and can lead to bullying. It can be a very active game, but a child that is hit early in the game has to sit out for quite a while. What do YOU think- should it be banned or included in elementary programs? Comment below.
