This online game, specifically designed for blind or visually impaired children, was developed by PBS in consultation with the National Center for Accessible Media. It's a challenging memory activity that asks students to safely lead D.W. through a dark room to get a glass of water without stepping on a toy and waking baby Kate. To accomplish this, students must listen carefully to verbal descriptions that reveal the exact placement of each toy. Make sure that students select the "audio" option before beginning the activity. Headphones required.

tag(s): disabilities (39), listening (120)

In the Classroom

This site is also useful for students as an activity that strengthens memory skills, concentration, and attention to detail. Include this game with others as part of your lessons about disabilities. As part of your overall unit on disabilities, ask students to use Book Creator, reviewed here to share ideas on how to adapt areas of your classroom and school for disabled students. Include student drawings, pictures, and writing projects in your ebook.

Finally, students are asked to rewrite a paragraph from Hawthorne's story in dialect style, and discuss the possibility of blending these two traditions. Aligned to standards.
