I LOVED this activity. My students also enjoyed, especially my small group of 4th grade boys who were all obsessed with sports! I found it was a great way to get them using their skills and keeping them engaged with content they like.

I used this as supplemental material to teach a lesson on Reading A-Z with Jackie Robinson. Although, this could be taught by itself. I loved this material!
