Play Ball!
</b>
This complimentary review activity, using a simplified version of baseball, is great for reviewing information given in class. It is also a great game for the kinesthetic learner and shows that teamwork is important in all aspects of our lives. Teamwork helps build trust towards others, and allows more ideas to be shared.</i></font color=blue>
