An inclusive playground is an area that provides equipment for students with a variety of abilities. Children with disabilities are able to participate with classmates without special needs. Inclusive play areas and playgrounds support children's development through play by encouraging physical, social, and emotional development. Amenities that separates a typical playground from an inclusive play area may include, "Larger, wider spaces to give access to wheelchairs and other mobility devices, sensory play equipment such as the Little Tikes Braille Panel or Beat Blocks, Modified slides with ramps for additional support, etc." Including students with disabilities on playgrounds will support their physical development by allowing them to use equipment and move around with other students. Emotional and social development occurs on playgrounds by interacting with other students by playing games and solving problems. The link provides some real examples of exceptional inclusive playgrounds. ]]> 2022-10-11 19:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/blaisecug/xaur9uxyrspfblkp/wish/2335866168 blaisecug https://padlet.com/blaisecug/xaur9uxyrspfblkp/wish/2335888737 Games support children's learning across the curriculum by improving participation and engagement. Students are more likely to take risks during games because it is a less stressful and criticized environment.

When completing tasks outdoors, students tend to have to work in groups. For example, painting a mural or collecting data. Getting students outside is a change of scenery from the typical classroom lesson. Incorporating activities outdoors gives students a more hand on experiences. For example, having a cleanup day in the school yard. The link gives ideas for experiences to provide students outside of the classroom.
