Play from scrimmage

I have seen a difference in play between older children and preschoolers. Though the difference is slight, there are still some subtle difference I’ve observed during some of my experiences. One difference I see is as the child gets older, they seem to have a bigger imagination. With the bigger imagination, they are able to have more conversations with themselves and others they are playing with. Many of the other things I’ve observed go along with the characteristics that Bergen and…

“Race you!” comes a high pitched squeal of a young child heading towards their parent’s car at a shopping mall parking lot. The joys of playing a game and competing with everyone around comes naturally to children. In “Children Need to Play, Not Compete,” author Jessica Statsky argues that participation in competitive team sports is damaging to a developing child. In contrast, the paper “Children’s Development Through Sports Competition: Derivate, Adjustive, Generative, and Maladaptive…

The midfield position in lacrosse posses three major characteristics that you have to have to be successful which are speed, strength, and awareness. Lacrosse is known for its fast pace and up beat tempo, you are never staying…

As previously mentioned, Willy is extremely upset with his eldest son, Biff. This is because Biff is not successful. On the other hand, Willy’s younger son, Happy, is extremely successful. This is why Willy does not nag him as much. The play says that Happy is a “tall, powerfully made” man and that he has succeeded more than his older brother (p.19, 1). Happy has become successful, but not in much of an honorable way. He consistently takes bribes and commits acts of adultery in order to…

they will receive. Once the students begin to get physically involved in the plants and gardening process they will start to develop lots of patience because with gardening you must have lots of patience in order to watch the plants and gardens grow from beginning to end and it also takes patience and lots of care to care for a plant or garden.

Immediately my attention was caught by these three young children who looked to be around three to four years old. They just walked in the door with their guardians. Two ladies were with them. As soon as they walked in the door, they ran to go play in the bounce house. There were other children in the place already playing everywhere. One of the three children that just walked in went straight to the ladder and climbed it to the top. He looked like he was the oldest. I could say he looked…

Gotta Change the Gaming World Pokémon Go is a cellular game that uses real life places to engage players. It uses a GPS feature which makes the user walk to find the rarest of Pokémon. However, it’s not the features that make this game so popular. Most people born in the 21st century probably watched this anime film at least once in their life. Eight out of ten people that I have asked said that they have been addicted to Pokémon growing up as a kid. I even grew up watching this show.…

everyone can be happy, well except for me. I decide it times to stop hiding this feeling of misery I have from them. I remember waking up that day already mourning the fact that I had a game that day, but this morning was different than any other time. I felt as if this day was different than others, I felt more tired, grouchy, my head was hurting, I couldn’t concentrate, it felt like from the time I woke up that this was going…
