I created an ability activity for students to do after we discussed “can” and “can’t.” In this activity students run around the room attempting to find some who “can” do something on the list. For the future I plan to give out a snack or prize for whoever can find the most people. This works well in a big class, but can work in a small class if you allow people to ask the same person. Remember to adjust this for your class/student population.

Directions:

1. Briefly teach ability- (I usually try to lift a desk or chair and say I can lift this! Then I try a table and say “I can’t pick this up.”)
2. Ask students if they can perform an action (whistle, taco tongue, or something else not everyone can do).
3. Handout.
4. Give prizes to winner/debrief.

>>>Can you Handout<<<
