Program Implementation and Adaptation
Not what you're looking for?
Describe and mention how you will adapt this lesson to class of 21 children? Of the twenty-one students, eighteen are of Level I development, one is at Level II, one student is visually impaired and one student is overweight.

Discuss changes in skill progression, equipment use organization, safety precautions, etc. that you will make in order to have a success with this lesson.
Activity: Level I (Hokey Pokey (American) Skill: Body identification, nonlocomotor movements
