Array of Activities

In class on (2/22) we started off with one last short activity.  This activity was artist, clay, and model, which was a very unique game where one person was the artist who had a blindfold on, another person was the clay which the artist shaped, and finally the model who chose a creative pose.  This activity was really innovative and included no outside materials besides ourselves.  Its a great activity to have as a backup because its quick and easy to explain and do. 
After completing that activity we moved to talking about ways to change and modify simply games to meet different needs and goals of individuals.  We looked at the game red light green light, another way Dr. Lewis explained to us was using a train with different rules.  It was very interesting and may appeal to different populations of people.  Then we broke into our groups to construct a program for the population spinal cord injuries based around the show Project Runway.  My group chose to construct a program based around creating a hat out of non traditional materials like feathers, leaves, or pipe cleaners.  Its a fun way for participants to express themselves.  These activities are great and innovative and can be tweaked in ways to accommodate many populations to accomplish any array of goals.
