► When parents were asked about the benefits that their
middle school or high school aged child gets from playing sports, more than eight in ten say their child benefits a
great deal or quite a bit in the following ways: physical health (88 %), it gives him / her something to do (83 %), or it
helps him / her learn about discipline or dedication (81 %).
To
help your students understand the causes and effects of this rare spectacle and to prepare them for the excitement of an event they're probably hearing a
great deal about, Education World offers scavenger hunts for elementary,
middle, and high school students.
