Is dodge ball an appropriate game for P.E classes? I think dodge ball is a really fun game and before I read articles and thought about it, I believed that all of the kids participated. Now I now that many of the kids just stand there or behind others and if their lucky they won't get hit with the ball. People say that it is usually the kids who just stand their and don't participate, but the is not necessarily true sometimes it can be because you threw the ball and someone caught it or if you accidentally stepped over the line. It's not that no one participates when they try to get the kids to play dodge ball it's just that most of them don't. Now for P.E we either get to play a sport or walk around the basketball courts. In these activities you are moving around rather than standing there like during a dodge ball game or when you get hit get out and have to stand their watching.
