Inclusive Yard Games: With Rule Changes for Visually Impaired Players (Unabridged‪)‬

Fun, inclusive, schoolyard games as a resource for teachers and parents.

In this short book, we’ve set out the rules of around 30 popular schoolyard games and suggested adaptions to make them inclusive for visually impaired children. They have been tried and tested by Maya and her friends.

Our hope is that teachers, parents and kids will find this helpful and our suggestions, based on Maya’s experience, will lead to a lot of fun and laughter in other schoolyards.
