Once finished sanitize/wash all student hands. Please Thank you (For students who do not have the speech level needed to say please and thank you, work with them to use the gestures before the bean bag/ball is passed and after. To model language, have yourself or the TA use the words ``please pass the beanbag/ ball” while helping students do gestures. Then you or a TA with the student should say “thank you” while helping the student do the gesture after receiving the ball).
