SIMPLAE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR AUTISTIC CHILDREN

11 May, 2023

Here are simple outdoor activities for kids with  autism spectrum disorder:

1. Overcoming obstacles

Outdoor brings us the most exciting obstacles. Jump over dry branches, run around bushes, hug tree trunks, and slide down…! You don’t need to prepare too many items, although it can help you have more choices. Be creative, take advantage of the surroundings and let your child participate in the preparation and arrangement of the play space.

2. Go to the playground together

What kid doesn’t love playgrounds? Some children may be afraid of sensory effects, but play areas are perfect for practicing motor skills, balance, confidence, and other social skills. You don’t have to stay close to your child all the time, but you should also stay close to the play area and observe to make sure the child is always safe and encourage and motivate the child to try new games and skills.

3. Hide and seek game

This game never gets old. Many people like to play hide and seek indoors, but hide and seek outdoors is also great. Your children will laugh with delight if you find them hiding behind a tree. You can combine counting, in turn, to help children connect perception and visual perception.

4. Treasure hunt

Make a list of objects and challenge your child to find the things on the list. Pine leaves, pebbles, dry branches, leaves, or something can be suggestions for you when making a list of objects. You can also create a real treasure hunt by attaching hints sheets to different spots outdoors. Each hint will point the child to a new location, and when they find a clue about the last place, they will find an unexpected treasure.

5. Games with water

Wait until it rains and go outside with your child. Will you wear casual clothes or wear a raincoat? It doesn’t matter what you wear. Give them an umbrella or let them get wet. Give your child a bucket to collect water and a paintbrush from dipping and splashing. Playing in the rain is a fun experience that helps children regulate their emotions.

6. Let’s roll the wheel

Toys with wheels? That is enough to get started! Bicycles, scooters, or skateboards all help children develop balance, motor setup, and acceleration in a straight line, all of which benefit sensory processing. Make sure your child always has enough protective gear (helmets, protective pads). If your child is a little shy? It’s okay. Let’s start slowly. Try removing the pedal from the bike, lowering the saddle so that the child’s feet touch the ground. As your child learns to kick back to let the bike slide, put the pedal back on and raise the saddle
