A. Tick ü the things which are inside.
Each child aims and throws the ball inside the basket. 
When the ball goes inside, other children will say IN and 
when it goes outside the basket, they say OUT.
Activity should be conducted in a manner so that all the children are 
engaged, irrespective of their differential abilities. For example, a 
ghungroo can be attached to the ball, and surface of the basket 
can be made different from the surface outside in order to get 
specific sound when the ball is in or out of the basket.
