That a child has a motor disability or is in a wheelchair does not mean that he can not play like other children. Because playing is one of the Rights of the Child, children with special needs can also participate in any recreational activity.

Logically, a child in a wheelchair will not be able to perform all recreational activities like other children, but it is us who must ensure that activities adapt to their needs and that the child enjoys a happy childhood. We remove barriers and show some games for children in wheelchairs.

What children can play in a wheelchair

Perhaps a child with a wheelchair can not play everything other children play, but can do much more than we imagine. A child in a wheelchair should not be excluded from children's activities because it has a thousand possibilities to enjoy, play and have fun. El - The

sport seems vetoed for children with some motor disability, but it is not like that. One of the favorite sports of children in wheelchairs is basketball, whose practice can be perfectly adapted to the needs of a child with a disability. - There is no problem so that children in wheelchairs can have fun with different board games, an activity that they can do

as a family or together with other children of their age. - For younger children,

finger painting is one of the funniest hobbies. Painting, imagining, creating, getting dirty and having fun must be part of any child's childhood. - The

balloon workshops are ideal for those children who are wheelchair bound but have mobility at the top. Creating animals and objects with balloons or simply throwing them into the air, will make them feel an integral part of any group of children. - Music in a music therapy workshop, for example, can allow a child in a wheelchair to also

dance , like the rest of the children who do not have motor disabilities.- Any child is fascinated by magic, an art that children with disabilities can also learn without any obstacles.

Tricks , surprises and skills that all children do not possess and that will awaken the admiration of others.- If you use your imagination to fly, you can create games adapted for a child with a disability. Look at what they are capable of, for example, the "Paralympic Athletes" and you will discover that many barriers are created by ourselves.
