Here's a game where players use a variety of ball handling skills. The players may not run when in possessioln of the ball, so it's like a big game of keep away. But there are goals, rather baskets, one in each corner of the gym. So the...

Baseball can be so entertaining! Here are a few great ideas you can use to get your learners with visual impairments out on the old ball field. A sound-enhanced pitching device or T-ball stand is used to alert players when it's time to...

Give two taggers a pool noodle and two freers a foam ball. If runners get tagged, then the freers must free them by throwing the ball to them. The trick is freers can't move when they throw, and runners must catch the ball to be free....

Board games are great for building social skills and for fostering recreation and leisure skills! Here, you'll find an image and a brief description of how you can make a tactile version of the game Sorry for your blind or...

Students discover their playground is transformed into a fun, challenging action spot. In this early childhood physical education lesson, students are encouraged use large-motor skills as they make their way through an age-appropriate...

Learners see how electrons are transferred in the bonding of NaCl. They then create models of NaCl using styrofoam balls and toothpicks to assist them in explaining the formation of ions and ionic bonding. 

When it comes to teamwork, it's best not to drop the ball. Pupils stand in a circle, tossing around a ball of yarn to one another to create a web. Next, they use teamwork skills to keep a soccer ball from falling off the web before...

Students design an Aerogel model to capture clay particles. In this space science lesson, students discover what happens to comets as they hit a surface. They explain how the Aerogel technology would help scientists study comets better.

Students develop their globe skills. In this geography skills lesson, students use a globe and a softball to replicate distance between the earth and its moon.

Young scholars participate in a game of two teams trying to score as many points as possible by throwing or bopping a large beach ball toward the opposing team's backboard. Team members must follow specific guidelines for the game as...

Students demonstrate how to throw balls. In this physical education lesson, students throw a ball into a barrel. Students work in teams to earn points.
