Ball game 2:

Once the child has learnt to throw a ball to a particular person slowly shift your attention towards asking to throw the ball inside a particular object.

1. Use a ball of a comfortable size ( the child prefers) and keep a big basket or a tub in front of the child and ask him to aim and throw the ball inside the tub .

2. please make sure the distance is comfortable for the child . Make the session exciting by allowing the child to win

3. Using a big basket will increase the chance of the child throwing inside the basket

4. Please try to avoid placing any environmental distractors in between child and the object

5. Complete physical prompt may be required initially , but then sowly fade the prompt as the week progresses.

6. time duration should not excede 5-6 mins for this activity.

7. Other than bucket even a basket ball stand can be used , if you feel the child would enjoy that better

8. Adaptations like keeping squeezees inside the bucket so that when the ball falls inside the bucket it squeezes, decorating the bucket ( not too much ), or modifying the bucket like an open mouth etc can be done to draw the attention of the child towards the bucket

9. But then these adaptations could also prove to be distractors, so do it according to the sensory needs of your child .

10. Balls can be made out of different textures so that the child gets to feel different textures and learning of this concept can also take place simultaneously

11. vocabulary like throw, inside can be mastered through this activity

12. keep reinforcing the child for he efforts.
