Put on gloves with each finger in place
When to use this goal
For young students who cannot get their fingers into glove holes or mittens on, so they go out cold or wait for an adult while the class leaves for recess. Fit depends on a timed trial with the student's own gloves, not age.
- Baseline
- Time from picking up the first glove to both gloves on for three days, and note which fingers go into the wrong hole. Gloves that are too small or very stiff make the task much harder; talk with the family about the gloves.
- Tips
- Mittens are a good first step. Laying the glove flat with the fingers pointing away is an easy routine to teach. Recess time is limited, so speed matters here.
- Limits
- Seasonal; data come only in cold months. Does not include coats and zippers (see mt-fm-006).
