Think Change!!! How can you change the activities? Why does
Softball or Baseball need to have people run the bases in order
of first, second, third, and home? Think outside of the box.
Below are four elements of a game or activity to consider where
changes can be made.
First - consider the equipment. Does it have
to be the same size and/or weight? Can it be placed on the
wall instead of the floor? Can it be held?
Second - Consider the space of the activity.
Does it have be a certain distance? Does the target have to
be so high? Does the implement really have to travel so far?
Third - consider the rules. Do all students
need to follow the same rules to accomplish the activity?
Do all students need to perform at the same level for the task to
be completed successfully? Can the number of choices be reduced
to enhance success?
Fourth - Consider the time. Do all students
have to complete the task in a specific amount of time? Must
all students do the same number of tasks to reach successful completion?
Make sure that whatever game or activity you use provides
all students with
- sufficient activity
- successful participation
- appropriate challenges
- continued interest and participation.
