Studio22:  Today we will be building the components to a school book on "Inclusion Activities".  Go online and prepare to introduce a "Inclusion Game" to the entire school.  This game should take no longer than 10 to 20 minutes play.   Make sure you post a title to your game, how long it should take to do, and a brief description or list of instructions on how the game will be done.


Here is a sample game:



Name of Activity: Laps

Time Needed: 10-20 minutes
Number of Players: No Limit
Materials Needed:

One chair for each participant.
Ideas for statements
Preparation Needed (Ahead of Time): Arrange the chairs in a circle

Instructions:
1. Each participant should sit in a chair.
2. One person will make a statement telling how many chairs to move if this statement
is true of you.
3. Participants should move to the assigned chair. If someone is in the chair, the
person should sit on their chair with them.
4. If the person with people on their chair has to move, everyone on the chair moves to
the next chair.
5. This continues until the group loses its enthusiasm for it.
6. This activity is a good get-acquainted activity. It also is a ‘recharger’ for a group that
has been sitting or working for a long time.
7. Example statements:
Move two chairs to the left if you are wearing blue jeans.
Move three chairs to the right if you have blonde hair.
