Adapting Activities Guides

Doing physical activity in groups is a great way to improve fitness. It also creates opportunities to socialise. The adapting activities guides on this page will help you make group activities more accessible.

There are lots of popular activities that groups can enjoy. With a few changes, lots of fun group activities can be adapted so that they are accessible for everyone.

When adapting activities for a group setting, it’s important to have an awareness of the abilities of different group members.
