On-Screen Board Game for Exploring Obsession with Fantasy

Children with autism learning social skills, in psychotherapy, speech therapy or general education, need our help to keep this hard work interesting and fun. However, professionals striving to make these learning activities appealing can get really bogged down with time-consuming lesson preparation. This free resource is very appealing to children and teens, and its advance preparation is not very hard.

This is a screen-based kit that allows you to quickly create a screen-based “board game.” I have completed a PowerPoint template for you. All you need to do is fill in the little text boxes with your own questions. You can even do it during your session with the child/children you are helping. Once the text boxes are filled in, you can easily drag the little game pieces around the board. It’s just like a real board game.

There are endless possibilities. I have used it dozens of times in my own work.

In a previous blog post, I provided a free download to this shareable, screen-based game, suitable for printing or on-screen play.
The free download available in this blog post shows you how to quickly create your own PowerPoint board game, using my free kit.
Actually there are TWO different templates!
A cool feature is being able to drag the game pieces around the on-screen game board, like this.

Übung zum Filtern verbaler Ausbrüche

Übung-zum-Filtern-verbaler-AusbrücheDownload

Diese Aktivität soll jungen Menschen mit ASD und anderen Störungen helfen, Wege zu lernen, um ihre emotionalen verbalen Ausbrüche zu regulieren. Die Aktivität sensibilisiert dafür, welche Dinge in Ordnung und welche nicht in Ordnung sind, wenn man verärgert ist. Es führt das Konzept ein, dass Gedanken „gefiltert“ werden können, bevor sie in gesprochene Wörter „umgewandelt“ werden.

So  wird es gemacht: Drucke das gesamte PDF aus. Schneide die drei Pfeile aus. Schneide die verschiedenen Aussagen in Streifen. Verwende für all dies Karton oder Papier, das du laminieren kannst. Das Bild unten zeigt, wie die verschiedenen Teile positioniert werden.
