  • Scope and Sequence: this activity can be done stand alone or can be used as capstone project for an inclusive playground unit.  
  • Grade Level and Modifications: This activity is recommended for grades third through high school, but can be adapted for those with alternate abilities with sufficient assistance of aides or volunteers.

We are in the process of beta testing this activity for distance learning.    While we have delivered this activity successfully numerous times as a classrooom outreach activity, we are currently working on testing how to deliver this activity to make it work efficiently when taught for distance learning.  Contact us if your school, organization or company would be willing to be part of our journey to beta test this activity to make it work as a remote activity.
