Materials Needed: Plastic Easter eggs (three per child) and a large basket. A low balance beam or taped line, hoops, mats. and polyspots are good to start with. This activity can be customized according to the equipment you have available.

Description of Idea

Variations:

Vary this activity by painting the numbers one, two, and three on the eggs. Have three baskets, each labled with a number for the matching egg to go into. If you prefer, use shapes or colors instead of numbers.

Adaptations for Students with Disabilities:

For a child in a wheelchair in an integrated class: have the child perform as much of the activity as possible. He/she can go around the hoops instead of jumping through them. Have the child attempt to keep a wheel of his/her chair on the taped line. If you are using a balance beam for the other children, tape a line along side of it so that the child in the wheelchair doesn't feel excluded.
