This week in gym we started a new unit and it wasgames from around the world. The first place we did was Ireland. The next placeof game we’re going to is Italy then I think China. But I can’t remember theother country.
For Ireland, we played Benchball. You have two teamsand one person from each team stands on a bench on the other side of his/herteam. The people on their team blocks the person on a bench on their side. Atthe same time they have to throw the balls to person on the opposite on thebench. The team of the person on the bench who catches the most balls, wins.
We also learned where Basketball comes from. It camefrom America but was invented by a Canadian, Nai Smith. So Canadians says it’sfrom Canada but people from America say it’s from America.
