Whether you are a <strong>teacher, a specialised territorial agent working in preschools (ATSEM) or an activity leader for children aged 3 to 6<\/strong>, you can read this article to find solutions. We will here talk about 4 ideas to carry out a d<strong>isability awareness activity<\/strong> with small children.<\/p>\n<h2>Disability awareness project in a preschool around the use of a wheelchair<\/h2>\n<p>Among the tools which can help raise awareness of disabilities, the use of a sport wheelchair speaks volumes to <strong>a small child aged 3 to 6<\/strong>. It allows them to understand disabilities in a tangible way.<\/p>\n<h3>Wheelchair models adapted to children<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playmoovin.com\/en\/sports-wheelchair\/\">KidsMoovin\u2019<\/a> is the perfect manual wheelchair to help small children grasp the concept of disabilities. This plastic wheelchair is equipped with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A very solid plastic case;<\/li>\n<li>Footrests;<\/li>\n<li>Safety straps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Children are thus playing in a completely safe environment.<\/p>\n<p>Our wheelchairs are also certified and controlled by the CERAH (research and study centre for the equipment of disabled people). It is the only institution which is able to deliver a certificate of conformity for a wheelchair. This institution depends on the Ministry of Armed Forces.<\/p>\n<h3>Educational games to raise awareness of disabilities in preschool<\/h3>\n<p>The preschooler\u2019s objective is to manage to move with the wheelchair. They thus measure the difficulties people with reduced mobility must face daily. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go through a track with a sport wheelchair where varied obstacles are placed (alone or with the help of someone to push the wheelchair).<\/li>\n<li>Reproduce daily life situations in a wheelchair (get out of bed, move around in a house, go in a car, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A <strong>disability awareness project in a preschool<\/strong> can be completed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playmoovin.com\/en\/books-to-raise-awareness-of-disabilities-for-every-age-group\/\">reading of books on disabilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Raising awareness of disabilities in a preschool with earmuffs<\/h2>\n<p>Using earmuffs is also an excellent way of <strong>raising awareness of deafness among small children<\/strong>. Here a few activities which can be carried out with it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gather the children around in a corner of the classroom, introduce the earmuffs and ask a few children if they can put it on their ears.<\/li>\n<li>Say a sentence that children with earmuffs must repeat.<\/li>\n<li>Ask the children wearing the earmuffs about the sensations they have had.<\/li>\n<li>Propose other children to test the earmuffs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The use of earmuffs allows to talk about disabilities in a global way.<\/p>\n<h2>Blindfolded awareness activities in a preschool<\/h2>\n<p>PlayMoovin\u2019 proposes here 2 types of educational games to help young children understand disabilities.<\/p>\n<h3>A pitch-black snack<\/h3>\n<p>Eat and drink in the dark? What a funny idea! And yet this is an excellent way of raising awareness of disabilities among children at a young age.<\/p>\n<h3>An awareness track in the dark<\/h3>\n<p>Propose your pupils to go through an obstacle course where they have to step over and go around the obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>Put the children into two-person teams: one of them is guiding their blindfolded partner so that they can find their way through the course.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use a <strong>disability awareness kit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You will find other resources to carry out a disability awareness project with small children on the <a href=\"https:\/\/eduscol.education.fr\/3890\/enseigner-des-eleves-besoins-educatifs-particuliers\">Eduscol<\/a> website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raising awareness of disabilities in school<\/strong> is essential to make our society more inclusive and it is possible to do so <strong>through games as soon as in preschool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to go in this direction, create an unforgettable moment for your pupils thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playmoovin.com\/en\/renting-a-sport-wheelchair\/\">renting of a sport wheelchair<\/a>.
