Low Number of students – Combine and merge smaller
groups together

the final minutes of the activity.
Physical Limitations – Students with any physical
limitations will have the option of standing out of an
activity if needed and instead will assist instructor with
equipment or walking around making sure all rules are
being followed and providing feedback when needed.
