Getting to know each other a little bit more and having fun at the same time? I tried yesterday in my course for teachers this board game and we enjoyed it very much! Borrow figures and the dice from Ludo board game and you can go on.
I've been having a hard time lately with some of the older kids I see. They don't see the point or the importance of what we are working on. I have been very frustrated, and our sessions have been less than productive. In desperation, I turned to Pinterest, and came across some UNO activities. I figured - what could it hurt? We aren't getting anything done anyway! Well, it was no less than MAGICAL!!! My most difficult student didn't want to come see me, but I asked him to give me just 10 min. We played the game, and he was happy about it. I started to pick up the cards, and he grabbed the UNO cards and starting dealing out the cards. We ended working for 30 minutes with smiles all around. Below is the activity I did today. Click on the picture for activity details. After the session, my mind was buzzing. Although the student did well, and shared, he didn't really listen to my comments. So I came up with this idea. This student needs to work on writing, so I made a handout so that he has to write down the other participant's comments. Click on the picture for activity details. There is just something about UNO that everyone loves. Here is another great idea showing how to use UNO cards in a session. Click on the picture for activity details. Thank you Pinterest for such great ideas and breaking my therapy block with my older students. I look forward to coming up with some more ideas. I'll let you know how it goes.
How many of us realized back in March, that so much of our lives would still be virtual? From church services, to school, we are very much tied to the online world. Though our state is slowly starting to open up again, we are still being discouraged from gathering in person. Because of that, we […]

DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: Enjoy using this gross motor game for student while participating in therapy sessions, classroom activities or while at home. These charts feature the option to use one die or two dice and act as a perfect opening activity, closing activity or movement break throughout the day. This activity requires no equipment (other than dice), so is a great tool for traveling therapists or teachers with limited space. Group therapy idea: Print multiple copies, and have students color in each box as it is completed. Group members can watch their friends preform various movements in a random order, but in the end all students complete the same movement patterns. Or, students can work as a group to color the entire paper. Over the course of several sessions, students can visibly see their hard work as the paper becomes a colorful rainbow of gross movement exercises!
