27. Players alternate turns, calling out one shot per turn

28. Repeat steps 13-26

29. Once all holes in the ship are filled with red pegs, this ship has “sunk”

30. The owner of the ship must say out loud that the ship has sunk

31. Owner of ship removes their sunken ship

32. Place sunken ship to the left of the game in the compartment for sunken ships

33. Player who sunk their opponent’s ships places a red peg on the top of their game unit to represent the number of opponents ships they sunk

34. First player to sink all of their opponents 5 ships wins Activity Analysis (inherent skills within the activity) Category Skills Primary body position Sitting down at a table in a chair.

Modification (to meet the therapeutic needs of the client) How could you simplify the activity? 1. Increase the number of ships used on grid so there is more chances to get a hit on a target square.

2. Have no grids at all and have a drawn grid on paper that makes the boxes and letters/numbers bigger. This makes the activity simple because players can just put a check mark or x on the squares that are hits and misses. Then, player can highlight boxes in a row to represent their ships. Obviously there will be a divider in-between the players so they can’t see each other’s boards. This simplifies the activity because you don’t have to

4 worry about using red or white little pegs.

3. Make this game a one player game where the patient has 15 tries to guess the location of only 1 ship that the RT placed on a grid. This simplifies the game because the patient isn’t worried about their own ships and then the opponent’s ships. This allows the patient to just focus on the locations of one ship rather than 5.

4. Rather than saying hit and miss every time a player calls out a location, players can have a green and a red card each. If a person called out a miss, they will lift up a red card. If a person called a hit, they would lift up a green card. This makes the activity more simplified so the patient doesn’t have to keep on verbally repeating themselves over and over again.

5. If a player gets 5 misses in a row, opponent is allowed to give that player a hint about where one of their ships are located. This can help simplify the activity so the patient isn’t just getting all misses which can cause the patient to feel frustrated or angry. This gives the patient a chance to catch up in the game too. How could you make the activity more complex? 1. Use one color peg so it is more complex to figure out what pieces were a hit or miss on the target grid. This helps increase short term memory and uses focus and attention.

2. Patient and opponent can play the game from across the room while standing. This can make the game more complex because the patient has to really focus on what the opponent is saying and calling out from across the room and it also allows the patient to stand the whole time. This helps with attention span and concentration.

3. Only having one grid each can make this activity very complex because the players won’t have a target grid that mirrors the opponent’s battlefield. This can promote short term memory because

5 players won’t have the visual in front of them showing what they called out already.

4. Before every player’s turn, RT gives the player a word to remember. When it is the players next turn, player must state the word the RT asked them to remember. This helps with short term memory.

5. Having the players write out every location call they said out loud without having the visual target grid. This makes the activity more complex because patient has to write every call they made and also makes it harder to visualize since the call outs are probably random. Any Additional Comments None.
