Fairness – Students Raise Funds to Make Playground Inclusive for Those with Disabilities

Set up the three stations around the classroom. Divide students into small groups and assign each group to a different station. Give the students a set amount of time to complete the activity and then rotate through all stations.

Station 1: Obstacle Course
Create a simple obstacle course using chairs, cones, or other objects. At this station, students will navigate the obstacle course wearing eye masks or blindfolds.

Station 2: Language Barrier
Ask students to build Legos by following directions in an unfamiliar language.

• English:
  • Sort all the LEGO bricks by color.
  • Build a tower by stacking the colors in order.
  • Start with blue, then stack green.
  • Follow with the color red.
  • Finish with yellow.
• Mandarin:
  • 按颜色分类所有的乐高积木。
  • 按顺序堆叠颜色以建造一个塔。
  • 从蓝色开始，然后叠放绿色。
  • 紧随着红色。
  • 最后是黄色。
• Spanish:
  • Clasifica todos los bloques de LEGO por color.
  • Construye una torre apilando los colores en orden.
  • Comienza con azul, luego apila verde.
  • Sigue con el color rojo.
  • Termina con amarillo.

Station 3: Fine Motor Challenge
Set up a task that requires precise hand movements, such as threading beads onto a string or assembling a puzzle. Provide students with mittens to wear to simulate limited dexterity.

Follow-up questions:

• Share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings from each station.
• How did it feel to face barriers at each station?
