Here's an app called Arcade Hoops. This is one easy group reinforcer. The kids work all during their speech or language session to earn their turn a the end of our time! Easy as that! And it's free! Check it out in itunes here.
To accompany my March Madness Free Download, I pulled out the hoop and ball for some action! I attached the hoop to my white board and my speech friends described to me how to draw a backboard. That was a pretty funny speech lesson in itself!
My first and second graders were playing this game so our target skills were comparing and contrasting, synonyms, categorization and story sequencing. I made these quick boardmaker visuals and assigned them point values.
Then I taped these squares on the carpet using masking tape. I made 4 boxes and assigned them each a skill from those I listed above. The farther from the hoop the more points! When I played with articulation students, I took down my pictures and wrote in tasks like "name 3 animals with your sound."
Don't forget about this free March Madness download I posted a few weeks ago!
What's your favorite get 'em up and moving activity?
