Purpose:
The purpose of this activity was to enhance students' sensory awareness and promote empathy towards differently abled individuals. By engaging in a blindfolded exercise, students learned to rely on their sense of touch to identify different textures and materials. The activity also aimed to encourage creativity in designing and presenting sensory boxes, while fostering a sense of teamwork and inclusivity.
Highlights of the activity:
Introduction to Sensory Exploration: The activity began with an introduction to the challenges faced by differently abled individuals, particularly those with visual impairments. Students learned that people without sight rely on their other senses, especially touch, to understand their surroundings. To simulate this experience, students were blindfolded and asked to identify materials inside boxes based on texture. The materials included soft cotton, rough sandpaper, smooth stones, and bumpy fabric, encouraging students to use their tactile senses. This exercise made students more aware of the importance of touch in daily life, as they relied on their hands to differentiate between objects. It also helped them empathize with those who navigate the world without sight. Through this sensory exploration, students realized the significance of their other senses and how vital they are for understanding and interacting with the world.
Building Communication Skills: Through this hands-on activity, students were encouraged to communicate their experiences and guesses effectively. They discussed the textures they felt, compared their ideas with peers, and shared insights on how different materials felt under their hands. This improved their verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
Creativity in Box Presentation: Each student was tasked with creating a well-presented sensory box, which led to a variety of creative designs. Some students used brightly coloured paper to wrap the box, while others focused on making the hole for the hand insertion both functional and visually appealing. This activity promoted students' creativity in presenting ideas in innovative ways.
Promoting Empathy and Understanding: The activity included a segment where the teacher led a discussion about empathy towards those who are differently abled. Students were encouraged to think about how people with disabilities navigate the world and how important it is to be understanding and compassionate.
