Wheelchair Observation Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood or school and look for wheelchairs. How many different types can you find? Notice the colors, shapes, and sizes. Draw a picture of your favorite one and share it with the class. Discuss what makes each wheelchair unique and how they help people move around.
Create Your Own Wheelchair Design: Using craft materials like cardboard, paper plates, and markers, design your own model of a wheelchair. Think about what features you would add to make it special. Would it have bright colors, special patterns, or extra comfortable cushions? Present your design to the class and explain why you chose those features.
Story Time with Your Drawing: Write a short story about the person you drew in the wheelchair. What is their name? Where are they going? What adventures do they have? Share your story with a friend or family member and ask them what they liked about it. This will help you think about the lives of people who use wheelchairs and the exciting things they can do.
