With some simple adjustments to ordinary physical activities, blind children can engage in games and exercise just like their seeing peers. Some of these games are as simple as bouncing a ball to learn about spatial relations. Other physical activities include jumping rope---the child knows when to jump not by seeing the rope, but by feeling its progression in its arc and whether or not it has touched the ground.
Other simple physical activities involve social interaction, like walking while holding hands with a partner (activities like this should be carefully supervised). The children may like to try something adventurous, like running and jumping into a safe, soft landing spot.
Simple yoga is another physical activity that may interest blind children. By giving detailed instructions and physical guidance, an instructor can help them discover their own flexibility.
Blind preschoolers must learn how to use their hands, even if they do not plan on learning Braille. "Feeling" activities teach children about different tactile sensations and how various objects can be manipulated. Different props can be used to teach these lessons. For example, children can experiment with opening jars and bottles, tying knots, turning screwdrivers, pouring water, playing with magnets or using paperclips. Experimenting with different objects helps prepare children for everyday life.
Blind children must learn to rely on their other senses, including smell and taste. With thousands of taste buds and millions of smell receptors, these powerful senses can open up new worlds to a child who cannot see. Arrange tasting activities to teach lessons about food---children can learn about sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. They can even experiment with flavor combinations, and discover the variety of consistencies in food, like the wide range between crunchy and creamy.
