Students go as a group to the blacktop and play-yard. The blacktop is used for exercise. Students walk either individually or in small groups around a large painted oval on the blacktop. A lot of time is spent walking the oval. The student who was completely immobile was pushed around the oval by and aide.
Students also have use of the outdoor gym equipment for climbing or going down the slide.
This activity is both physical and social, as students learn to exercise in close proximity to each other and to take turns. Several large tricycles are also provided in a separate section of the yard. Under close supervision, students take turns using these vehicles. The order that students can go ride is determined by one of the aides, who chooses based upon who was especially worthy. No one took exception to his choices.
