Make practicing rounding numbers up and down fun - THAT was my goal. While a simple sorting exercise or a worksheet would have been effective, neither idea excited me. And let’s face it; if it doesn’t sound fun to me, a 7-year-old isn’t likely to think so either. Board games are a favorite with my son, so I whipped this one up. Download a PDF of the game board, playing cards, and die here. You need two players to play. Objective Use rounding to move your game piece. Try to get to the finish before your opponent. Prep Cut the cards apart. Shuffle and lie them face down in a pile between the two players. Find two game pieces (e.g. two different buttons, coins, or glass decorator gems). We used some race car-shaped erasers. Cut, fold, and glue the “go back/move forward” die. How to Play Game pieces are placed on the words “start.” The first player rolls the “go back/move forward” die. If the die reads “go back,” the game piece cannot be moved and play moves on to the second player. He/she rolls. If the second player rolls and the die reads “go forward,” they turn a card over on the deck and round it up or down. If the number is four or less and rounds down to zero, the player must stay at the start. Now it is the first player’s turn again. If the number on the card is five or higher, the player will round up and move their game piece 10 spaces on the board. Play alternates between both players. If a player rolls “move forward,” they will always round the number on the card they draw. If it rounds down to zero, they do not move their game piece. He/she can only move their game piece if the number on the card is a 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, which all round up to 10. If a player rolls “go back,” the number on the card drawn is the precise number of space they retreat. In some cases, this may put the player back at the first square on the game board. The deck of cards may need to be reshuffled for continuous play. How to Win A player must round a number and advance beyond the final square on the board and pass the opponent’s game piece to win. Although there are just over 20 spaces on the game board, it took us awhile to get through one game. And at one point, both my son and I were on the last space, rolling to see who would roll a “move forward” and draw a card with 5 or higher first; we were both sent back enough times to make predictions of who would win, anyone’s guess. My son asked to play several more times, and even added LEGO minifigures to the board as “obstacles.” This was a GREAT way to practice rounding single-digit numbers. Round Around is going in our regular rotation of home-made board games! Note: If you child has trouble remembering which numbers round down and which round up, consider teaching him/her a rhyme. Several can be found here.

The question I probably get asked the most is, “Where do I start?” Teachers, SLPs, and parents don’t always know what to do with the new aac system their child/student has been given. As SLPs we know that you can’t just put the book or device in front of the student and expect them to just begin it use it. Communication for these students is a skill that needs to be specifically and directly taught. Language needs to have a context. Usually it is a context that involves more than just the aac user. Communication is interactive. If you listen to Janice Light talk about what students need, she lists social closeness, information transfer, social etiquette, and wants and needs. For many of our students, the focus starts out on wants and needs and often doesn’t get much further. In school, on the other hand, we start to spend a lot of time on information transfer - answering the questions posed by the curriculum. But, Light puts social closeness at the top of the list. Isn’t that what communication is all about? We teach conversational skills because it is so important to connect with those around us. We need to be able to share experiences, feelings, and more. Many of my teens who use aac love to joke. Telling jokes (or trying to) is their way of establishing that closeness. As students move into school, the time and effort spent on establishing social communication grows. We spend time teaching students to engage in eye contact, to smile at others, and to participate in activities. For them to do the latter, they need a way to communicate what they want to say to others. So, where do we start? We start with the student. What engages him? What do we say when we are engaged with him? What are the things he wants to or might want to say? Take a look at the activities in which he wants or needs to interact and begin to build the vocabulary for that activity. Not just the names of things involved; but comments - both positive and negative, actions, and descriptions. Provide those words in his mode of communication (usually this means his aac device or communication book), and you use them. The more you model using the symbols or signs for the words involved in that activity the faster he will learn. As the student begins to use the system, acknowledge, reinforce, and expand on what he says. Offer choices as often as possible. Ask open ended questions rather than yes/no. Model use of those action and descriptive words consistently. Make sure you are not overwhelming the student with too much language, but keep your language a step or 2 above his. Don’t talk so much. Pause in interactions to wait for a response. Assume that he can and will respond. Overall, make sure you are providing sufficient vocabulary, sufficient models of a wide variety of communication purposes, and constant access to the system. I often tell SLPs, teachers, and parents that they are going to do the same things they do with their other kids/students. Just add pictures to your communication mode. Where do we start? Start with the student. A couple of weeks ago I posted a free core word communication board. I have also posted boards for use in the library, the motor lab, and at snack time. All of those boards are based on use of core vocabulary; adding additional vocabulary needed in that context. If you are building boards or pages for activities, make sure that core vocabulary words are available, and focus on those. Today I am adding a slightly different core word board for you to use. How do you engage your student?

With this board game, students will practice asking questions. On each square, a question word or the beginning of a question is given. Students now ask the correct question, or else... Other students can then answer the question (either chosen at random or by the ´asker´). Especially suitable for smaller groups. (For bigger groups you could print more copies and split the class into groups, making sure to appoint a ´teacher´s assistant´). Have fun! - ESL worksheets

Believe it or not, but this great big rock of dirt and water that we get to call “home” has been spinning around the sun for the last 4.5 billion years. So far, there have been thirteen different time periods where humans and animals from all walks of life have come together to leave their own mark on the world. With so many years to cover, it might be no surprise they miss a fact or two in school.Did you know Ancient Egyptian pharaohs would smother their servants in honey to help keep the flies away? Plus, would you believe that President Abraham Lincoln was once a champion wrestler before taking control of the country? Although there are many facts that still blow our minds to this day, there are also several historical facts that will really mess with your perception of time. Think all those ancient civilizations were a long time ago? It might be time to think again.
