This product is intended to help students learn to control their own feelings and develop emotional regulation / coping skills. A chart is included where teachers/students can create a menu of options for students to choose from when they are feeling a particular emotion (distracted, excited, angry, etc). It includes 28 feelings words and 50 different picture icons/visual supports for coping tools. Blank space is also available for teachers/students to create their own coping tools. The coping tools include both words and pictures so they are appropriate for students as young as preschool. These are also great for students with special needs and English language learners. The file is completely editable as a Microsoft Word file - picture icons can be cropped to remove words, made smaller/larger, and copy/pasted to include only relevant icons for students. A PDF is also included. --- The Picture Communication Symbols ©1981–2010 by Mayer-Johnson LLC. All Rights Reserved Worldwide. Used with permission. Boardmaker™ is a trademark of Mayer-Johnson LLC.

A colourful classroom or individual visual that can be used to teach children about their emotions and how these can be regulated. Children relate to the 'volcano' metaphor to try to stay calm and prevent 'an eruption' from occurring. The visual serves as both a reminder to stay calm and what to do ...
Simon Says is such a fun game to play in speech therapy! Some of my students needed visual supports or communication boards to participate! This is why I made this simple Simon Says board! How I use this product: Follow the traditional Simon Says Game Rules (only complete an action if “Simon Says”) *I use this as a visual support for students who need it. I point to Simon-Says-[Action] (while verbalizing) and have the students watch and mimic the action. I included a strip at the bottom for when a student completes an action when I didn’t point to Simon Says first (their turn is over). *I also use this as a communication board for my non-verbal or limited verbal students. They get to hold the board and point to the commands for their peers to follow. Enjoy this Freebie! Please follow my store and check out my other Freebies and paid products!

As you can probably tell from some of my previous posts, I absolutely love cooking with my kids! We don't get to do in near as often as I would like since we have to finance it with our own money and it can get quite pricey. We still are trying to do it at least once or twice a month, and my aide are great about helping out with ingredients! Every time we get ready to try a new recipe I like to have a visual to go with it. This way we can go over the recipe step by step before we head into the kitchen to do the actual cooking. We always send a copy home (in hopes that their folks let them try to make it there) and we put one in their binders that they take home when they graduate. As you can see they go from pretty basic recipes to a little more challenging as to try to find things that all my kids will be able to make independently. You can find the recipe book here: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Follow-Along-Recipes-989267

This is a PowerPoint I made to work on receptively identifying items from a choice of three when given an object function (which one do you eat, which one do you wear, which one is used for cutting, etc). When you view it as a slide show and click on the correct link, you hear applause and it moves to the next slide (I think... it's been awhile since I made this). You can also print each page and have the child tell you the correct answer. Or print them 4 slides per page and cut out and use as flash cards. Click here to download!

In the previous post, I talked about using voice cards as visual aids. In this post, I will explain a couple activities that use the visual aids. At the bottom of the post, you can download the pdf and print them for free! Name Game For 1st grade and kindergarten, I always review voices on their first music class of the year when we are doing name games. We do simple echos: Teacher: "My name is Mrs. Dennis" Class: "Her name is Mrs. Dennis" Student: "My name is Joshua." Class: "His name is Joshua." thekinderkid.blogspot.com After we go once around the circle learning names, I introduce the voices with the cards. (I also tie this to our school-wide voice level system. I do not have a picture of our voice level posters, but I found a similar one from The Kinder Kid. Our numbers and levels are the same, but we don't have the cute clipart.) When the students understand the voice levels, we get to go around the circle again saying our name to the beat, but this time each student secretly picks a voice (whisper, speaking, calling, singing). We must echo using the same voice and then I ask the class what type of voice they used. Voice level zero For the past 3 years, since I have been relating these voices to the voice level number, the kids always ask to say their names with voice level zero. We now call it "Magic Lips". Anytime I want the kids to move their lips without making a sound, I ask them to use Magic Lips. I actually use this with all grade levels. I usually ask for Magic Lips when I had the kids patting a rhythm while saying a poem and then I want to hear their patting by itself. I also ask for Magic Lips when students are using Curwen hand signs and I want them to stop singing and focus on the pitch levels. Acka Backa I use the voice cards often in repetitive games, just to break up the monotony. One example is an elimination game: "Acka Backa." Here is the poem if you are not familiar with it: Acka Backa, soda cracker Acka Backa, boo Acka Backa, soda cracker Out goes you! There are many variations to the words; you may know a different version, but this is how we play. This is a simple elimination game. To prepare the students, I have them stand in a circle and pass a ball around to the steady beat. We first practice passing to the beat at different tempos. I usually hold a buffalo drum and stand inside the circle showing where the ball should be. If the ball passes up the drum, they know they are going too fast. When they are focused on the beat, we introduce the poem and the rules. The last person to hold the ball on "you" leaves the circle. The student gets to go to my chair where I have the voice cards laying face down. They pick a card to tell us which voice to use next and then they get to mix them up again for the next person. Elimination games are always tough for the kids who always want to win, but going to select a card seems to ease the disappointment that they are out of the game. Free Printable: Voice Cards (whisper, speaking, calling, singing) I suggest printing them on white cardstock and laminating them.
