Learning Activity

Overview:

Toxic Waste is a standards-based cooperation game that focuses on teamwork, synchronization, and communication. It can be played in a gym or outdoors. The goal of the game is the get the Toxic Waste (a foam ball) from one end of the gym to the other, without touching the ball of the Ringette ring (students must, therefore, use skipping ropes).

This alignment results from the ALEX Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit.
