| Specific purposes |
* Align bowling pins, and count numbers up to 10. * Improve the functions of hand and finger, such as grasping and pulling. * Adjust own strength, and move the body. * Enjoy playing game with a friend(s). * Become interested in mechanisms and movements of an object, and understand them. |
| Considerations for disability characteristics |
* It is easy to adjust how far “the ball” needs to be pulled and how strong it should be pulled. The adjustment can be achieved just by changing the length of the elastic band. * A bell is placed in each pin so that it bells when the pin falls, facilitating children and students know where the goal is. * A counting aid was developed, which has pockets to encase each pin separately, so that they can count the knocked down pins by putting them one by one in the pockets. |
| Expected effects and results |
* Children and students become able to count numbers up to ten and understand the sizes of the numbers. * Children and students become able to enjoy game with a friend(s) and devise means to win. |
| How to use |
1) Place the bowling pins on the circular stickers aligned on the floor. 2) Pull the cushion (“the ball”) with an elastic band attached, and release it to knock down pins. 3) Count the knocked down pins. 4) Compare the results with a friend(s), and find out who won. |
