GaGa Ball is a game that virtually everyone can play, and it has a universal language that kids can translate into all sports. This is because GaGa Ball impacts children’s development by teaching them all about agility and improving their motor skills. By playing the game, kids can improve their jumping, dodging, and running skills. All these skill sets will further aide them as they learn how to play more complex sports such as soccer, baseball, and basketball.
GaGa Ball is beneficial for a child’s social development due to its inclusive nature. Even children who aren’t the most athletic can play and feel confident in themselves, as the game’s rules and instructions are relatively easy to follow.
The majority of my students have never heard of GaGa Ball or been given the chance to play. I would love to give them the opportunity to try a new activity while helping them feel confident in themselves, feel included and engage with their peers in a fun and friendly game!
