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.

The use of affirming, supportive and validating language is fundamental in social interaction, and all children need to learn how to do it. Many kids with autism need special help to learn and practice this set of skills. This free resource is a “board game” on the theme of “saying something nice” to others. It’s set up to play on a computer screen, and you can move the game pieces around easily with your computer cursor.
The images below walk you through the set-up, introduction and application of this child-friendly social skills activity. In my own work, I found that children usually like it a lot.

About using cards in social skills teaching with children on the autism spectrum
There are some strategic reasons to use cards in social-emotional teaching and therapy with children. Cards can introduce a useful game-like dimension to the work. Much of what might be taught in a card activity might feel tired or discouraging without this playful aspect. Cards can help to break up the adult-child power dynamic. If the card asks a tough question instead of the adult, it might be easier for the child to give a solid answer. Cards can promote turn-taking in group work. The structure allows quieter kids to talk more and can help place reasonable limits on children who might be talking too much.
There are many activities on this website that include downloadable cards. Check them out.
