Bell balls

It is important that as a teacher you can provide students with various options when teaching physical education. It is difficult to meet the needs, interests and the abilities of all students within your class but it is vital to adapt your classroom to ensure it’s inclusive for every student.The end result of any activity that must be adapted is that there is positive involvement by all students. A student presenting in your class with a visual impairment can be positively involved in your class with the use of bell balls.

A bell ball is a ball that is used in the game of goal ball. It is a ball that is filled with bells so that when it is rolled or thrown it is able to be heard. If this ball was to be used when students were participating in physical activity then a class of students all with or without a disability can be involved and have maximum participation. As a teacher it can be difficult to incorporate all students into lessons when some students have more needs and less ability then others.

The example of using bell balls is a prime example of how a student suffering from vision impairment can be involved into a lesson and benefit from it. Below I have provided a link for you to view and then purchase these balls. If the decision is made to use these balls the positives far out weigh the negatives. [|Bell Balls]
