What helps make this possible? Themed Background Music: MUSIC IS EVERYTHING (ex: Harry Potter Theme Song for Quidditch) Proper Terminology of Equipment (ex: “Quaffle” for a Gator Ball; “Golden Snitch” for a small yellow foam golf ball; “Beaters” for the tagger with a noodle, etc. for Quidditch) Storytelling (Imagination) (ex: “Today, we are in the world of Harry Potter. We will have 4 teams: Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw”, instead of just normal red, blue, yellow, and green teams.)
