Noise Ball Activity - Kristin Dibler

Despite what some may think, people with visual impairments can enjoy recreational activities, such as playing toss, basketball, softball, dodgeball, etc.



You can purchase a "beeper ball", or make your own "noise ball". To make your own, you just need to purchase a ball (select the ball that is most appropriate to the activity you will be doing), deflate the ball, add bells to the inside, and then re-inflate the ball.






Now let's try playing a game of toss, with a "noise ball", and with goggles that depict various visual impairments.




.... This is an example of an expanded core curriculum activity that requires both an auditory and a kinesthetic approach.
