I bet everyone who is reading this post is wondering what I’m wondering too. Maybe 2/24 people are bored of dodge ball and don’t want it as a subject and I agree how. But still 22 out of the 24 people still like it and want it as a subject and it’s not fair if 2 people don’t like it and 22 of the people can’t play it. If a teacher reads this and makes it a unit for the school that would be epic, but I don’t think that’ll happen. LL
But that’s just what I think now tell me what you think!!!

I for one think that dodgeball shoudn't be a unit at all, it never has been a unit and think it should stay that way still. I mean we do get some excersize but it doesn't have the quality's that other units do have. For example Kick Ball or Ultimit Football and sometimes it may be boring. Hope to see someone elses opinion.

Does dodgeball teach enough skills for it to be a unit by itself? I suppose it teaches teamwork, hand-eye coordination, and . . . I can't think of other skills it teaches. It's a lot of fun, and is a great adrenaline rush, but doesn't have as much life-skill potential as other sports. Maybe dodgeball is more like 'treat' food. Dodgeball - the cookie of the sports world?
ReplyDeleteI agree that doge ball should be a unit.after im done im sweating more than i do in r.a.c (yes that might surprise you)the point is alot of people LOVE doge ball.i hope they make it a unit.

When I was a student your age, dodge ball was my all-time favourite gym activity. We called it MURDER BALL back then because we used those big, red bouncy balls, not the soft foam balls that are used today. It HURT. A LOT. It was fun though.
ReplyDeleteYou may not believe this but your teacher was the Queen of Dodge ball in her day. I was usually the last one to be taken down and it was hazardous to my health being pelted by 20 other kids all at once.
However, it's not the danger aspect that stops me from using this game as a unit. Anybody can get hurt in any game. One of the main reasons I don't believe dodge ball should be taught as an independent unit is that no matter which version you play, there are always students that spend a lot of time not doing anything. Whether you play Dr. Dodge Ball or Elimination, there usually is some wait time in order to get back in the game. Effective physical education games should have all students active and ready at all times.
I also don't really agree that it teaches throwing or catching skills - at least not during the game. Those skills should be taught BEFORE any real game is undertaken.
I like using dodge ball as a reward. If there are some REALLY convincing comments, I might consider changing my mind someday...
~The Big HAM
I agree and disagree with this comment.
ReplyDeleteI agree with it because, yes, dodge ball is fun! But when you play it OVER and OVER and OVER again, it gets boring and I feel like having a NAP in GYM... that is not good! So having it has a unit would be cool but...
But I do not agree because, yes, it is dangerous and it does not teach kids any skills. So yes, it may be fun, but it does not teach us anything!!!!!
So sometimes you have to work with what you get...
My point is proved! :)

I do not think that dodge ball should be a unit!!
ReplyDeleteI mean I do like it but every one is always
fighting and people get hurt.
I think it would be good for a sub kind of game.
But what I do think we should do for gym is
floor hockey!!! I love it!
-yummy yummy num num:)
I think that dodge ball shouldn't be a unit. We should play it at least once or twice each month though. It doesn't teach that much skills other than dodging and throwing. There is nothing really to teach for that game either. In dodge ball people argue and just sit out a lot.

I love dodge ball so much but we never play it. You get the same amount of exersize and it is fun that is why I think it should be a unit. I bet you can ask mostly any one what is the faverete inside gome in gym and they will say DODGE BALL! I know I would. I hope the BIG HAM will make it a unit and I'm exited to read what other people have to type.
ReplyDelete-PAPA SMURF
I think dodge ball should NOT be a unit. many people get hurt by randomly flying balls. most mite not believe. dodge ball needs the opposite of me.
ReplyDelete~nuclear waffles
I think that dodge ball should be taught as a unit as well. I think that dodge ball is realy fun and I think we should play it more often then just as a reward.
ReplyDeleteI think that it also improves your throwing skills, your catching skills, speed and agility.
The only problem is that we fight alot. But thats what I think.
-zombie
I also would love to have dodge ball as a unit, and just like the Big HAM I am a master at dodge ball but not as good at throwing but I am really good at the dodging.
ReplyDelete*Sweetpea*
When we have gym I wonder what we will do. I hope it is dodge ball but I hope it is not dodge ball. The reason I like dodge ball is because it is fun to get people out. The reason I don't like dodge ball is because everyone argues about it whether it is Dr.dodge ball. Another reason I don't like dodge ball is because it is not fun getting hit in the face or getting hit by the ball and then we have to go sit down on the bench. But it is so boring when it comes to you having to sit down so I say it should not become a unit.
ReplyDelete~Mr.yogi bear~
I think the Big Ham is right. Nobody will use a thing if it is dangerous. Just like that if you can play the game without hurting someone then you can play but if you cant play the game safely then dont play. I like dodge ball too but not when somebody gets hurt or somebody hurts me and also in an other way we are learning something bad like throwing something at somebody when you are in a bad temper or you're jealous of somebody. So I agree with Big Ham
ReplyDelete-pink GIANT
I totally agree with Big Ham it does not teach anything that has to do with life. Yes it does involve with skill like catching, throwing and maybe agility. But do not teach anything and we already know how to catch, throw, dodge, and agility. Other units like soccer baseball tuaght some rules that I just notice last week so I agree with Big Ham.

1st of all, really nummy nummy yum yum, 2nd of all, I agree that dodge ball (or DEATH BALL) should be a unit, I didn't like it at first, I wasn't to good at it, but it's grown on me, it's a good way to get my anger out. I would always used to aim for the person that made us play, even if he/she was on my team, and that's how I got good!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm actually pretty good at it, I'm usually one of the last people.
-fraqu attack.
So not true PupleUnicorn. WRONG!!! Plus if you sleep in dodge ball you will get nail by me. Anyways, I LOVE DODGE BALL!you nail people,get hit, catch balls,and dodge the dodge balls. SO FUN!How do you not like dodge ball. But that is just my opinion. Once we had a S.U.B. in grade4,The teacher said I couldn't play beacause I threw to hard.
ReplyDelete-poogibear^^
I agree with Big Ham.
ReplyDeleteBecause all of us play dodge ball already,we have play some game that we didn't play yet. For me its much more fun to play outside because the place is much more bigger and you play anything you want,that's why i like playing outside.
But sometimes like dodge ball too, cause if its raining outside I can't play, that's why sometimes I like to play dodge ball.

I think dodge ball should be a unit because you get lots of exercise. People do sit out but pretty much everyone who is on the bench is red-faced and sweaty.
ReplyDeleteJust because people argue in dodge ball, people argue in every game we play. They say people get hurt in dodge ball but you can get hurt in every game no matter if it's dodge ball or kick ball.
It does teach you catching and how to throw and there's huge dodge ball tournaments where you can play for thousands of dollars.
This is why I think dodge ball should be a unit.
~green leprechaun
I will not get nailed by you poogibear^^, I will dodge it and laugh! Hahahaha!
ReplyDelete*Purple Unicorn**
I think we should be able to play it, but we should not have it as a unit.
ReplyDeleteWhenever we finish our work and we are behaving in class we should be able to play it. The Big Ham is right about having it for a reward. We shouldn't have dodge ball all of the time because whenever it is too cold outside after lunch, we have a choice between going to the gym and playing dodge ball and watching a movie and usually the movie is boring. I always end up going to the gym and don't want to play the same thing over and over again.
so I guess I could agree with and I also don't agree with you.
~WILLY WONKA~
I agree with Purple Unicorn, It is a fun game but last year and the year before that, we played TOO MUCH dodge ball. More than a kid should.
ReplyDeleteAnd besides, every game I've played of dodge ball, there ALWAYS, and I mean always, has to be a problem. Its ether a person wont go down when they get hit or if were playing doctor dodge ball, we fight over who gets to be the doctor.
Any way, I think dodge ball should NOT be a unit.
~Purple Bunny :P
No.
ReplyDelete-poodibear^^
I agree/disagree with the post. I love dodge ball. But people sometimes get hurt. For instance I got hit in the head twice in one game. Then in a different game I got hit in the stomach. Plus some people throw like cannons. Every time I play I almost get hit by those things in the head and stomach and I have been hit with those they hurt alot.
ReplyDelete(turtle lover)
I HATE DODGE BALL! All you do is just throw balls at people SO NO MORE DODGE BALL! I want to have scooter hockey for a game one day.
ReplyDeleteSpottedpaw over and out! :)
~spottedpaw
Dodge ball is awsome!It's a great game and would make a awsome unit!It's epic,cool,fun,awsome and has lots of benifits.It can help us inprove in throwing,runing and cathing.We only play the game as a treat and if theres nothing we can do.
ReplyDeleteYes kids can get hurt but now theres not a good chance of that with the styorofome balls.All kinds of dodge ball is fun like docter and elimination.Everybody would like it exept for the 2 kids boodasnip said,but you can't keep a treat game if only 2 kids don't like it.I bless any random kids around the earth who read this and also want dodge ball to be a unit. DODGE BALL FOREVER!!!
~falcon
DODGE BALL IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don`t get why it isn`t a unit. It would be the best unit ever. Everyone is all sweaty and out of breath in dodge ball, and in kickball, your never get sweaty! It is a better workout than kickball, and it is much more fun. IT SHOULD BE A UNIT!!!!
~~~~~~~~Khajiit~~~~~~~~
OH MY!!!
ReplyDeleteI can not belive dodge ball is not a unit!!!! Teachers should like it, you practise catching, throwing,aiming and last but not least dodging.DODGE BALL IS SO MUCH FUN!!!!! Who would not agree ??????
A non-sporty person I guess?????????
Dodgeball is great!
ReplyDeleteI wish it where a unit.
Its great for playing in the gym or just for fun. I dont like how people argue about if they were hit or not though.
~turtle101
I am from Forest15 and I really wish that Dogball could be a unit.Even if it only lasts for a few weeks it's better than nothing right.On the other hand I really doubt that The BIG HAM or German Dancer would make it a unit.
ReplyDeleteOh Well!
~Jigger101
Dodgeball is awesome and I would pick it every day if I had a choice between it and football.
ReplyDeleteI would be very happy if it were a unit.
I never get bored of dodgeball.
we played dodge ball on valintines day.
We only played it because it won in a vote.
Everyone had fun exccept one person.....
I really like dodge ball. When I was playing dodge ball I was the 2'nd last one standing! Zombie's brother
ReplyDeleteI think Dodgeball should be a unit because it teaches you many great skills, such as catching, throwing,teamwork skills and last but not least DODGING!!! At the end of the unit the school should split up into teams and play against each other. That way we will all better at playing.Sorry to those people that dont like dodgeball but I love it and my sister taught me great skills.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think?
~Swirly R
I think Dodgeball should be a unit because it teaches you many great skills, such as catching, throwing,teamwork skills and last but not least dodging!!! But I think that atleast once a year we should play half the school plays against the other half. That way we will be better at playing dodge ball. sorry to all those people who hate dodge ball but I love it.
