Sports for Kids

© Jerri Brooker

Spring is here and the weather is nice enough we can spend more time outside. Hooray!

When you're inside on the computer, though, it's a good time to learn about sports which interest you.

Join me as I visit some links I think you'll find fun and educational, kids. You may even want to get other family members involved as you learn about these sports. If you don't have time to read all of these sites right now, pick a few and come back later. I especially like the Mt. Kilimanjaro video link.

• Learn about hockey at this site: http://www.exploratorium.edu/hockey/ .

• This site takes you to lots of information about other various sports: http://www.factmonster.com/sports.html - there are even a couple of quizzes for your fun.

• Are you into football? This is the place, then, where you can read all about it: http://www.playfootball.com/ .

• Women in Sports is entertaining and educational: http://www.makeithappen.com/wis/ - there's a long list of sports at this site that will take you to new links.

• Do you know about Shadowball, the Negro Leagues of baseball? If you don't, then go here: http://library.thinkquest.org/3427/ .

• If mountain climbing excites you, then watch this video of Mt. Kilimanjaro: http://www.altrec.com/features/crownofaf... .

• Perhaps you are into dance. Then take a look at this site: http://library.thinkquest.org/J002266F/ .

• Are you into skateboarding? Then go here: http://www.exploratorium.edu/skateboardi... .

• Ski season is over, but you can learn about snowboarding here: http://library.thinkquest.org/3885/ .

This should keep you busy for a while, but don't forget to get out and play, too. Rather than read about sports, why not get involved in sports? Even a game of catch is good exercise and fun, too.

Until next time!
