<p>Playing games on skateboards make lessons more fun. Games also help new skaters learn to control their board, balance, and keep an eye out for others around them within the skatepark, which helps<br />
reduce crashes and injuries in the long run. Other benefits of playing skate games include:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Learning and practicing new skate skills without consciously thinking about it</li>
	<li>Games help participants to build other (non-skate) skills like cooperation, teamwork and creativity</li>
	<li>Games can make even a flat piece of concrete more interesting and challenging to skate</li>
	<li>Many games can be played by almost any level of skateboarder, which encourages skaters of different levels to work together</li>
	<li>Games are energizing and easily fill 10-15 minutes of a skate lesson</li>
</ul>

<p>In this booklet there are 20 skate game ideas, which all involve skateboarding somehow. Key skills for each game are also highlighted.</p>
