Scooter Board Activities Fun Deck - 54 activities you can do with a scooter board |
Scooter Board Activities Fun Deck is another
great tool brought to you by Super Duper. This set includes a full
54 activities to do with a scooter board. Use one a week and you have
enough activities to last for a whole year at your fingertips.
Cards
are brightly colored, kid-friendly, and laminated. One activity per
card. The Introduction card gives tips for scooter board safety, tips
for size of scooter board, and tips for using the cards. The Table of
Contents card divides the activities into three categories:
- Supine (back) activities - 10 total activities
- Prone (tummy) activities - 27 total activities
- Sitting and Kneeling activities - 17 total activities
Below is an example of front and back of a supine activity:
Each
card has a colored border which tells the category it's in (green is
supine). Each card is also numbered in the top right hand corner,
although the numbers do not indicate a grade in difficulty. The back of
each activity card (as seen above) includes
- Therapeutic benefits - Well thought out, OT friendly terminology.
- Set up/materials needed - Can often be adapted to things you have on hand.
- Directions (for child) - Can be read right from the card.
- Tips (for adult) - Helpful ideas for grading or adapting the activity.
Three
of the cards show games for two or three kids. Nineteen of the cards
show an adult working with the child, either pushing, pulling, throwing,
or rolling a ball.
The
remainder of the cards (32) are activities for a single child. Supplies
needed include:
- Hula or smaller hoop
- Rope or exercise tubing
- Clothes pins
- Buckets
- Bean bags
- Bottles and small hoops
