My Connections to Play

When I was younger, play was supported by all family members.  I remember being at my grandmother's house and she would let my cousin and myself go outside to play with our friend from across the street. We played jump rope, hop scotch, kickball, and we skated. When I was 7 years old, my cousin taught me how to skate and I have been skating since then. Play is a lt different now than when I was growing up. When I look at the children today, they don't go outside anymore because of all he technology that's available to them such as video games and computers.There is not physical play unless they are at school and that's why there is so much obesity in children today. I feel that parents need to make sure that their child is getting some physical play each day or at least 3-4 times a week to keep the child healthy. Beow, is a picture of some things that I enjoyed playing with when I was younger. The first picture is my brother, and two cousins playing video games. The second picture is a  pair of skates because I use to skate often with my cousin Shayla. The third picture is a jumping rope because we use to have jump rope contest and I would win some and she would win some. The last pictures is super mario brother because we played super mario brothers all the time.
