Brooms Up!!! Quidditch in PE

Last week we tried something new in class...Quidditch...and we had mixed results.  For those of you who don't know, Quidditch is a fictional game that is played in the Harry Potter series of books.  It has become popular on college campuses and is making it's way in to the P.E. world.

We first watched parts of two videos on +YouTube  and then went outside to try it out.  I made adjustments from class to class and by the end of the day, I think it is a game that I'd like to add to the curriculum.  It was fun and different and the students were constantly moving...especially the snitch and the seekers.

Here are the links to the two videos:
