Size: 4-12 people
Equipment: scissors, colored paper preferably red and yellow,
marker, tape
Objective: This game is designed to assist clients to identify
barriers and assist them to see how they may overcome barriers
to their recreation participation.
Description: Precut the red paper into bricks, have clients
suggest possible barriers they have experienced,(you can divide
the group into two teams) write the barriers on the bricks
and stick the brick to the wall, each barrier the teams identify
gains them a point. Then for each barrier have clients suggest
possible solutions to that barrier. For each solution they
get a point and move up the rungs on the ladder (you can write
the solutions on the rungs) which is taped on top of the bricks
for the visual to overcome. Once a team has reached the top
of their ladder the game is over. Tally the points to see who
has won.
