Activity 3 Day 7 Weekly Activity

Bonus: This year two new sports are being added to the Paralympic Games. They are canoeing and triathlon. In the triathlon the athletes must swim 750 metres, cycle for 20 kilometres, and then run for 5 kilometres. Paralympic athletes may also compete in other sports including archery, boccia, football, judo, powerlifting, rowing, sailing, swimming, sitting volleyball, track cycling, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair fencing, wheelchair rugby, and wheelchair tennis. To learn more about all of the Paralympic sports, please visit the 2016 Paralympic Games website. Imagine that you are on the Paralympic Committee and you have been asked to create one new sport to add to the competition for this year. Use your awesome imagination to design a brand new Paralympic sport. Please remember that some of the athletes will not be able to walk or run and others may be blind or deaf. On your blog, please write:
  1. The name of your sport: Relay Clap
  2. A brief description of how you play the sport
The game I have come up with is call "Relay Clap". Relay clap is a game that is suitable for all the Paralympic Athletes to participate in. This game is played by using a cloth to cover your eyes and only using your ears to get to the finishing line with hearing nothing but a "Clap" to Follow. However, for deaf Athletes this game can be also played by them as there is only one person through out the whole game that needs to do the "Clap". Relay Clap is suitable for anyone either Deaf,Blind or in a wheelchair as they can all participate. However, for the Blind participants they can follow the rules as the game is suitable for them. Relay Clap is also suitable for those that are in wheel chairs, for participants that are in Wheelchairs they are also able to play Relay Clap however also following the rules with the cloth over there eyes and only hearing the clap to follow through to the finishing line.
3. Three rules for the sport
1) Must have the same "clap" person through out the whole competition at the finishing line
2) All Participants must have eyes covered (Unless you are blind)
3) All Participants are not to ask for help or talk at all. Ears only!

    Hi Anthony!

    Wow, you have been really busy. It is so great to see all of your posts. I've enjoyed reading every single one of them. You've shown great creativity. Well done!

    I particularly like the idea that you have come up with the Paralympic event. Relay Clap sounds like it is something that everyone could participate in and enjoy regardless of their physical challenges. I suppose that the only group who may be excluded would be those who are deaf. Perhaps we could tweak the sport to include a 'vibration board.' The vibration board would move every time that someone clapped and the person who was deaf could feel the vibrations with their hands and respond. In my limited experience working with people who are deaf, I did find that a vibration board can be very useful. Do you have any experience with deafness? My dad actually used to teach at a school for the deaf in Canada and he taught my sister and I how to use sign language to communicate. Sadly, I have forgotten most of it now but I used to love to talk to my sister (Leigh) using sign language!

    Cheers, Rachel :)
