[Sportsandrec] Ideas for Picnic Games & Fun?

[TNABA]

Everett

I am doing the exact thing this Saturday for our TNABA organization. We will 
be playing board and card games, and Disc Golf. I would also suggest games 
that have a target that someone throws a ball toward and people see how 
close they can get to the audiable target. You could do the slate and 
stylous challenge in seeing how many words someone can braille out of an 
original word that you would provide. I know somewhere you can get braille 
word find games that might be fun as well. That is my suggestions.

Ps. I don't think it would work very well doing the three wheel race though 
it is a great thought. I would think there would be a risk of getting the 
chairs tanggled.

I do not however claim to know much about wheelchairs.
