Standing on the sidelines

I watch students play on the playground and I often witness bullying and violence. A great way to encourage students to develop skills in team sports as well as activities of particular interest is to interact with the students. Teachers can learn a lot of information about their students while observing their interactions on the playground. Students may be able to play on their own however, they need guidance and management while they interact outside. Teachers need to model to students that physical activity is important by interacting with the students. Teaching students through interaction also encourages teamwork and sportsmanship.
