Description of Idea

Assessment Ideas:

This is an excellent activity in which to assess students' abilities to correctly perform the various locomotor movements; a checklist can be used to record information. You can also easily assess how well students are able to move through general space.

Adaptations for Students with Disabilities:

Allow a student with a physical disability to move from one lilly pad to another, instead of all through general space, to increase their chances of finding an open lilly pad.
