• soccer ball
• a number of cones and hoops

1. use existing obstacles, cones, and hoops to design a modified golf course for children to play “goccer”
2. holes may be set up to involve hitting a target (i.e., a cone), kicking the ball through a hoop or hitting an existing object (i.e., goal post)
3. score the game like you would for golf
4. children use number of kicks to get their ball to a target in order to complete each hole

Change the equipment: use a larger, lighter ball (i.e., beach ball) to decrease physical and cognitive demand

Change the environment: draw a line at which all children need to stand behind when it is not their turn to decrease social demand

Change the equipment: use a smaller target to increase the physical and cognitive demand

Change the environment: decrease the number of kicks required to score par for a hole to score par for a hole to increase the physical and cognitive demand
