Name of Activity: Why Should I Be on the Boat?Type of modalityGroup Game – Cognitive Stimulation (self-esteem, positive qualities activity)Type of playShared Cooperative – joining others in sustained engagement in activities with objects, toys, materials, or games with a shared goal or purposeInteraction patternInter-group – action of a competitive nature between two or more intragroups# of participants required4 people/group, I would say at least 3 groups game is good because it can accommodate many people Equipment/suppliesLarge sheet of paper, marker/pen, tapeFacilities required/environmentLarge room with hard walls (to tape paper to wall), chairs may be needed based on populationPrecautionsBe careful not to have too many chairs/tables (avoid tripping) keep groups in organized manner (so players do not bump into each other)Task Analysis **These directions are based on the activity using five different groups with four people per group.1. One group member rips off one sheet of paper from the large tablet using two hands, grasping the paper from the top of the tablet and ripping across. Place the paper down on the table.2. Using both hands, a different group member picks up a roll of tape, and rips off four pieces of tape 3. Using the tape that was just ripped, a different group member places the four pieces on the back of the paper in each corner4. Each group picks up their sheet of paper and places their sheet of paper on the wall right near where they will complete the activity. Make sure to leave space in between each paper, so groups can converse without other groups hearing them5. After the sheets of paper are on the wall and everybody is in their groups, standing, ask each group to designate a team leader who will write.6. Ask the team leader to draw a boat (make sure the team leader’s group members are involved and have a say in how they want the boat to look). Only tell them to draw a boat. Let them use their imagination and draw it the way they want to as a group. 7. Then, have them write on the side of the boat why each member of the group would be someone beneficial to have on the boat (ex – I am good at directions, I am a good cook, I am a good cleaner, I know how to fix mechanical difficulties)8. After about fifteen minutes, stop the groups from working and have each group discuss what positive qualities the group possess as a whole and individually.Activity Analysis CategorySkillsPrimary body positionStanding (could be sitting based on population)Part of the body requiredAll body parts (based on the activity being completed standing)MovementBending, carrying in the hands, grasp: 3 Jaw Chuck & pincer, picking up, pushing with upper extremities, putting down objects, reaching, standing, turning or twisting hands/arms, walking short distancesPhysicalBalance (static standing, could be static sitting if sitting), bilateral integration, flexibility, gross/fine muscle coordination, motor control, muscle strength, active range of motion (upper/lower extremities), speed (how fast you get your ideas on paper), how fast you set up the activity), visual motor integrationCognitiveArousal/alertness, focused attention, concept formation, concentration, decision making: simple, initiation, insight, judgment, problem solving: simple, reading, spelling, strategy, thought, writingSocialConversation: starting, sustaining, & ending, handling criticism, heterogeneity, homogeneity, interpersonal interactions, maintaining social space, relating with equals & authority (teacher/therapist), regulating behavior, relationships: forming, self-expression, social conduct, showing respect & warmthPerceptionAuditory function (hearing your groups ideas), tactile function (holding the pencil, ripping the tape, putting the paper on the wall), visual function (if you are writing, you need to be able to see what you are writing on the paper, need to see where to place the paper on the wall in relationship to other groups) Communication/languageReception to spoken language, reception of written language, expression of spoken language, expression of written languageSelf-careDressing (come dressed for activity), caring for skin, teeth, hair, nails, etc. (come well-kempt and have good hygiene around other people)Psychological/emotional (possible)Joy (winning the game, having the highest number of good qualities on your boat), frustration (people in your group may not want to participate or not take the game as seriously as you), guilt (letting your teammates down, letting your teacher or therapist down)SIMPLIFYING AND COMPLICATING THIS ACTIVITY: Ways to SIMPLIFY demandsWays to make more COMPLEXCognitivelyQualities can be repeated inside and outside of the groupQualities cannot be repeated inside the group (to make it even harder, they cannot be repeated outside of the group as well)PhysicallySit down and complete the activity instead of having the whole group standInstead of writing just beside your own group’s boat, have groups rotate around the room and write beside other people’s boatsSociallyHave less people per group, less talking and conversingHave more people per group, more talking and conversing, more teamwork ................
