#4 The Writing Game

Supplies you will need:
1. Raised line paper
2. Splints
3. Pencils
4. Bandannas
5. Envelopes

Directions for The Writing Game:
When everyone comes to The Writing Game you will have people sit down around the table. When everyone is seated around the table and quiet you can start telling them what they will be doing at The Writing Game. At the writing game you will tell people that they will probably have to take turns because there will probably not be enough of everything for everone to do it at the same time. The first thing you will do is hand the pairs of hand splints out and have them put one on each hand. After everyone has the hand spints on you will hand everyone a bandana and tie it around their head so that it covers their eyes. After everyone has done that you will hand them an envelope, when they have the envelope you will have them in the left hand corner write their first and last name, then underneath write their address and zip code. After they have done that have them feel for the middle of the envelope and put a first and last name, address and zip code on the envelope. After everyone is done give them a piece of raised line paper and have them write a short letter to that person.

Time: after 10 minutes start a 5 minute discussion.

Disabilities the Writing Game Represents: Intention Hand Tremors and Blindness.

Tips when you are doing this: the easiest way not to loose their place is to put your finger at the end of each letter.

Things to watch out for:
Make sure no one can peak through their bandanna and make sure the bandanna is snug tight but not too tight.
