Disabled children can participate in games and sports activities:

• with the assistance of non-disabled children.
• in activities with modified and adapted rules, such as football with crutches, sitting volleyball and wheelchair basketball.
• in invented games and sports for disabled.

Non-disabled children should participate, not only in the first, but also in the other two types of games and activities. All sports and games must be feasible for all participants, no one should be excluded just because of his/her disability - or lack of disability!

The teams in Cambodia and Angola used the following criteria in selecting appropriate games and sports activities:

• suitability for physical, psychological and social rehabilitation o social and cultural feasibility (low costs, e.g.)
• standardised rules, easily taught, learned, and adaptable to specific needs
• community-based capacity building
