Lesson Plans-Sample Topics
Place several chairs in front of the room and explain that these are obstacles in the water that must be avoided, but they cannot be seen.
Ask the students how one could avoid them, if they can’t be seen.
Ask for several volunteers to act as buoys and one to be the boater. Ask the boater to pass from one side to the other with their eyes closed.

28. NTRAIN 2017--ID Lesson Plans-Sample Topics The “buoys” are
responsible for telling the person to move left or
right to avoid the obstacle.
Items to simulate
obstacles in the water:
chairs, wastebaskets,
etc.
