March Basketball Activities

With March coming in full swing this week, we are reminded that college basketball tournaments and brackets are about to hit us everywhere we go. We love the madness!

You may look out into your classroom and see that basketballs have replaced the pupils in your students' eyes. Any college basketball fan loves to fill out a bracket and try to guess who could win it all.

I thought it would be fun to try to turn some of that excitement into a learning experience.

I started to think about the best way to keep along the basketball theme, then I realized- why not debate about some of the big issues surrounding college basketball? I created a debate package with two different topics: "Should schools/workplaces allow bracket contests?" and "Should college players be paid?"

These topics both have a policy proposition option as well if you feel your students are ready for a slightly more advanced version of the same topic. Want to see it for yourself? You can check out the debate activity here!

What do you think? Do you think there are more basketball topics that should be addressed? Tell me below in the comments! 👇
