Materials:

1.Basket

2. Crumpled papers

Background of the Game: James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 at the International YMCA
Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. The history of basketball began with its invention in 1891
in Springfield, Massachusetts by Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith as a less injury-
prone sport than football. Naismith was a 31-year old graduate student when he created the indoor
sport to keep athletes indoors during the winters.[1] The game became established fairly quickly and
grew very popular as the 20th century progressed, first in America and then in other parts of the world.
After basketball became established in American colleges, the professional game followed. The American
National Basketball Association (NBA), established in 1946, grew to a multibillion-dollar enterprise by the
end of the century, and basketball became an integral part of American culture.

Twist of the game: Basketball was popular to be played with two teams whose goal is to shoot the ball in
their respective ring, but instead of doing that, we used basket as a ring to be hold by one
representative of the other team. Unlike the original game, basketball ng lahi has a moving ring which
makes the game difficult and enjoyable. Another thing that makes it more difficult is that, we used
crumpled papers as a ball.

Experience: As a member of facilitating team, I enjoyed watching my classmates trying so hard to shoot
the papers on the moving human ring. The twist of the game was hard enough for them to shoot a single
crumpled paper. I am so happy to see my classmates enjoying the game even though it is difficult. As the
time limit ends there are few of the crumpled paper was shoot and we really enjoyed the game.
