This activity might not be suitable for people who use wheelchairs. “Wheelchair Friendly Activities” has a list of activities that are easy to adapt for wheelchair users. This list isn’t exhaustive, so we invite you to come up with your own creative ideas to make any activity work for you. If you have an idea on how to make this or any other activity more accessible for wheelchair users, We’d love to hear your ideas on how to make this or any other activity accessible for wheelchair users. Thank you for helping make play more inclusive!

Change the environment: give verbal cues for the hopping pattern (i.e., one foot, one foot, two feet, etc.) to decrease cognitive demand

Change the task: have the child pause after each hop to decrease physical demand

Change the equipment: have the child toss a beanbag on a square; then child hops the grid but skips the square with the beanbag to increase physical and cognitive demand

Change the task: have the child hop the grid, jump and turn on the last square and hop back to the beginning to increase physical demand
