[SportsandRec] Seran Wrap ball game

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello Kelsey,

I've heard of that game but have not played it.

I think your accommodation was certainly reasonable since you rely on your sense of touch and need to feel the object.
I understand why it would be real frustrating for you.
Everyone else could at least
Unwrap it a little because they can see what they are doing.

If you used regular gloves you at least can then use individual fingers and grip it better and also get a better tactile sense of it all.


I'm surprised your dad was not understanding in your request and adaptation.
It’s a family fun game. I don't get why he would not let you team up with someone to help you either. That also seems reasonable given you have no visual marks to follow and cannot see where the seran wrap might have a crack so you can peel it away to get it started.

Perhaps talk to them about it.
Unfortunately, if they do not accommodate, you might just need to exclude yourself since its not worth trying to do something you cannot do; its not fun and as you said simply leads to frustration.

Good luck.
Ashley

Subject: [SportsandRec] Seran Wrap ball game

Hello,
My parents and I took a trip this weekend with some friends from our camping group ′we do several cabin trips a year′. One of the games they like to play is the seran wrap ball. If you are not familiar with this, basically you take seran wrap and you make a ball with a bunch of items inside ′x could be candy, small toys, etc′. The players take turns rolling dice and whoever has the ball has to wear oven mits to try to unwrap it until the person rolling the dice gets doubles, then the ball and gloves go to the next player. Whatever falls out when you're trying to unwrap the ball you get to keep. I find this is a very difficult activity for me to do; everyone else was able to at least unwrap the seran wrap a little, whereas I couldn't even get it started and I was almost in tears out of frustration. I asked for a very simple modification: to wear regular gloves instead of the oven mits and for a little bit of help finding an end ′we did one with a group o time where I was able to wear regular gloves and it was so much easier′, but I was told very firmly by my dad that we cannot help you and you have to wear the oven mits. While I understand that the object of the game is to use the oven mits to try to unwrap as much as possible, I don't see why substituting a pair of gloves to give me that little bit of extra grip that I need ′I physically couldn't grip with the oven mits′. So my quite to you is, do you think I was being unreasonable by asking for gloves instead since that would still accomplish the same idea of not using your bare hands or is this just o of those activities that i simply have to exclude myself from since it seems no o so willing to make some simple adaptations that would allow me to play? There are so games ′l the card game spoots′ that I simply cannot play and I am okay with that, but a game like this, there's no reason why gloves 'that besed instead of oven mits, it's just ridiculous that I wasn't llowed this very simple adaptation.
