Clue Cards (Includes 5 Card Packs)
A Great Way to Help Children Develop the Habit of Noticing and Inferring in Social Situations!
Some kids have trouble interpreting social situations, reading facial expressions/body language, and grasping metaphorical speech. Withdrawn, inattentive, or experiencing the communication difficulties associated with Asperger's Syndrome, Clue Cards help children and teens learn to perceive and understand the "details" of social presentation.
An informative instruction booklet offers clear guidelines for using these 5 card decks.
Too Much, Too Little, Just Right Game - A Social Communication Game
People communicate using not only words, but also tone of voice and body language. Many children, however, fail to notice these relatively subtle social cues. This game teaches children to pay attention to tone of voice, observe body language, and note how these cues affect the message.
Children assume two roles during game play: Messenger and Listener. They learn by observing others and by getting immediate feedback about their own expressive abilities. They learn to adjust volume, expression, gestures, and other physical cues in order to communicate effectively and achieve greater self-control. Acquiring these skills helps children develop more appropriate and satisfying social relationships.
Ideal for 2 to 8 players, this game can be easily used with larger groups or classrooms as well. Because it focuses on social interaction among players rather than on a game board, it can be played virtually anywhere. Clearly focused and easy to use, Too Much, Too Little, Just Right is an exceptional tool for those working with children who have autism spectrum disorders. Included with the game is an Express-o-Meter, a sliding ruler that allows you to give children feedback about whether they are communicating appropriately.
Ages: 6-12
Understanding Faces Game
Great For Kids With Asperger's Syndrome Or Those Who Have Difficulty Reading Emotions!
Game comes with 50 colorful pictures of children with different facial expressions. Players pick a face card and try to match the expression closest to the feeling. Correct answers advance the player. Prompts encourage kids to do fun stunts and make faces to express a variety of emotions.
Includes: game board; 60 face cards; 48 situation cards; 2 dice; pawns; 100 chips; 2 write-on/wipe off slates; and instructions.
Ages: 6-12
3-6 Players
Too Close, Too Far, Just Right: A Game About Personal Space
Role-Play Your Way to a Better Understanding of Personal Space!
Many kids, especially those with ADHD, autism, or Asperger's, are unaware of the socially accepted physical boundaries that most of us take for granted. This game helps them learn what's "too close", "too far", or "just right" in various social situations.
Children take turns performing social scenarios described on Role Play Cards, and then the group decides whether their proximity to each other is appropriate for the particular situation. Players learn that standing too close or too far away can make people feel uncomfortable or confused in certain circumstances. Focused and fun, this game is a gentle way to help kids grasp the idea of personal space and thereby improve their relationships.
Ages: 5-12
For 4 to 8 players/teams, with a therapist or instructor
