Extracurricular Adventure Activities 3
Inclusion or alternate activities for students with special needs: Designated writer
for fine motor skill assistant, designated buddy to assist with mobility limitations,
Rule placards to assist with behavioral needs
Review and closure: Introducing the adventure activity unit with this fun version of
an assessment sets the tone of unit. It emphasizes that working out can be fun and
demonstrates that principle. This is the underlying theme of my program, and it is
an appropriate way to start the lesson. The trivia game will repeat 2 more times
throughout the unit, with the content and movement challenges adapted to each
section of study.

Review and closure: Having the students work in pairs allows them to bond,
enhancing the social nature of the activity. Accommodations are provided as
necessary, and promoting safety by having the students practice with the safety
gear enhances the appreciation of risk and the importance of safety.

Extracurricular Adventure Activities 17
Equipment and resources needed: helmets, elbow and knee pads, cones, wide
open space, preferably outdoors, scavenger hunt checklist, 4 moderators-helpers,
hurdles, tarp, rope
Inclusion or alternate activities for students with special needs: Students with
limited mobility will have the aid of a designated buddy, organizational and
behavioral needs will be met with the scavenger hunt checklist and small group
work
Review and closure: The scavenger hunt requires the students to go through
an obstacle course to gain all their pieces of safety equipment, and each challenge
gives them one piece. Once a piece is collected, the student must wear the piece
for the remainder of the challenge. The student will have successfully completed
the challenge when all 5 pieces are worn correctly and physical challenges have
been met. Challenges: 1. Run 4 laps around the gym 2. Climb over and under
hurdles 3. Weave in and out of cones, jump through tire rings 4. Propel oneself
across the monkey bar-type obstacle 5. Climb under hurdles, then swing on a rope
across the moat (gym mat) without getting wet. Engaging the students in a
quest demonstrates that physical fitness can be fun with a little bit of imagination.
Team Practice (with diagram): Each complete challenge yields one safety gear

Equipment and resources needed: Visual Aid identifying bicycle parts, basic first aid
kits, basketballs
Inclusion or alternate activities for students with special needs: Students who have
mobility needs may be grouped with their designated buddy, students with
behavioral issues will find rules posted on placards, students with cognitive
disabilities will benefit from the small group setting
Review and closure: The small groups worked well to allow student to
demonstrate the use of an ace bandage, and what to do in different scenarios.
Teams had to decide based on 3 different scenarios, what was the best option, in
one scenario, the best option was to help their peer limp back to safety, in another,
apply an ace bandage, and the third asked them to make a tourniquet. Students
also had to demonstrate hand signals for when they were cycling in traffic.

Inclusion or alternate activities for students with special needs: navigational officer
and repair specialist will research when they have demonstrated the necessary
skills, designated buddy, rules displayed on placards, hand or motorized pedal bikes
Review and closure: Learning more myself to help facilitate the student
experience is essential. Guest speaker and Instructor had the students demonstrate
the skills. Small groups were to demonstrate each skill and students were to
grade their peers if they were able to demonstrate or need improvement for the
techniques and personal behavior towards the group. These surveys in
conjunction with instructor observations determined successful completion of the
tasks.

Extracurricular Adventure Activities 24
Review and closure: Changing the pace of the class allowed students to
reenergize and focus their attentions to an entirely different task. This
diversification is important to show that physical fitness can affect other parts of
life, and provides life-long skills. Furthermore, students who are drawn to
mechanics were more interested in this lesson and were able to contribute their
expertise to the small group work.
