My name is Becky Foellmer and I’ve been in education for 37 years. My teaching experience includes teaching math, computers and coaching various sports along with supporting teachers as an Instructional/Technology coach.
PaddleZlam is our new favorite family game. We play it at just about every family gathering whether it’s in the backyard, tailgating before a baseball game, or even during our most recent family and friends ski trip, when we had our first “SnowZlam” event! Talk about a blast! This summer we’re hoping to get a group together to play on the beaches of Lake Michigan. (I can’t wait to play in the sand.) What I love about the game is that it’s very active. Played competitively, you get in a great workout and I really appreciate not even realizing I’m working out because it’s so much FUN! I, also, love that it’s a challenging game and that you can really see your skill level progress, with practice. The fact that it requires a great deal of teamwork is definitely another factor that makes a favorite over some of the other yard-type games. It always feels better to win as a result of teamwork! I’m a huge fan of PaddleZlam and am SO glad we learned to play! Now, I just want to share it with as many people as I can.
