Playground concept that are linked to the novel:
-The title bridge to terabithia
-The movie shows a river
-There was a treehouse in the movie

Explaination of how the designs are linked to the novel:
-We made a bridge are the title of thhe novel is bridge of terabithia
-We made the model look like the people are crossing the bridge to the other side of the river as jess and leslie has to cross from one side to the other
-We created a treehouse as there is one in the movie and the children might like it.

Playground design that meets the special needs of the children:
- The soft toys are made of materials that prevents the dust from sticking to it.
- Chairs are placed in the playground

Explaination of how the design meets the special needs of the children:
As the children we chose are those with terminal diseases so they should be able to do things other than strenuous exercises, so the games we put in the playground are games that are safe and fun.
-This will prevent the children from playing with dusty toys that might affect their illnesses.
-If the children do not want to continue playing, he can sit down and rest.
