In this ARTSEDGE lesson, students experience street games of Harlem by learning about and playing established games, such as stickball, kick the can, and tag, as well as hand games, chant-and-response activities, and rope skipping. Working in teams, students research and present their findings about a selected street game, compare street games using Venn diagrams, and create a new street game.
