PVC frames offer a versatile solution for integrating leaf blowers in adapted physical education. These frames add structure and stability, allowing instructors to position leaf blowers at various angles and heights to suit each child’s needs. By adding switches and adjusting the frame, students can engage in fun, motor-skill-building activities safely and independently.
These DIY PVC designs ensure that all students, regardless of physical ability, can participate in engaging, movement-focused games in adapted PE.

I just made this and started using with my students. The only problem I had was the sound. Many students were scared of it. I ended up building an insulated box that I put over it and it does take some of the sharpness out of the tone. Students had a better reaction.
