We have been playing dodgeball in the yard over the past few days. This has been a new activity for children on year 1 courses.

We played just a simple version of the game, where children had to stand within a circle that had been marked into the sand, and then avoid a ball that was rolled towards them.

Usually dodgeball involves two teams that face each other on a marked-out area. They then throw balls at each other with the aim of hitting a person from the opposing team. If someone is hit or goes outside of the court, they are out.

The younger students just played with the ball, but some of the other children were really getting into the game and trying to avoid the ball. Teachers rolled the ball to make it as fair as possible.

Can you play dodgeball? Yes, I can.

Can you play volleyball? No, I can’t.

（近頃、私たちは園庭でドッジボールをしています。

これは年少組の新しいカリキュラムです。

少し簡単なルールで行っていて、子どもたちは砂に描いた円の中におり、転がってきたボールを避けます。

普段ドッジボールは二つのチームに分かれ向かい合い、相手チームの人を当てるためにボールを投げます。

もし誰かが当たったり、コートから出てしまうとアウトです。

小さいお友達はただボールで遊びますが、何人かのお友達はとてもゲームに入り込み、ボールを避けようと頑張ります。

先生はなるべく均等に遊べるようにボールを転がします。

みんなはドッジボールをできますか？　はい、できます。

バレーボールはできますか？　いいえ、できません。）
