f. One researched adaptation specific to a disability group:
Im adapting this activity to participants who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Normally, the
leader calls out ketchup, mustard, or relish. Instead of yelling out each category, the
leader is going to create large cue cards prior to leading the activity with KETCHUP,
MUSTARD, and RELISH written on the cue cards. The leader will hold these up instead of
yelling out the group name.
