Drawing pictures in
wet sand or mud helps
a child feel what she
draws.
A child who cannot see well can run races by using a rope tied between 2
trees, like this:
Tie one end of a rope around a tree.
Then tie a big knot in the rope, 1 to
2 meters (3 to 6 feet) from the tree.
Put the end of the rope
through a hollow tube,
like bamboo.
Tie another big knot 1 to 2 meters from the second tree. Then tie the rope
around the tree. Be sure the tube cannot go past the knots.
For more ideas, ask the children in your community. See who can come
up with the most ideas of how to include a child who cannot see well in
the games children play.
