Feed The Woozle

This game I got the other day and so the kids and I thought we would play it today. It was quite interesting watching the kids play. There are different levels of this game, which is really nice with the different age range I work with. The is a cooperative game. The students are required to work together to collect all 12 coins. The game comes with a spoon, dice, spinner and food cards. Besides having to work together, the students are required to do different actions that they spin on the spinner. Here are a few pictures of what the game looks like and I also took a video to understand more of what the game was about.

More Social Skills

This time around when we did social skills, it was a little more unstructured and they were required to work together to build something. When I normally start this you see the kids not wanting to work together and take blocks away from the other students that are in the room. To help with this I give them guidance along the way and than slowly stop and let them work together. I do remind them that they need to work together and talk. This way they can determine who is completing what part. So here are a few pictures of what it looked like.

At this point, they were just taking blocks away from each other and not using their words.

Here they started to talk more and work together as a group. You can see the picture on the floor. I was having them use that as a guidance as to what they were building.

This is what it looked like when they were all done. Nothing, but happy faces.

 

Extra time at the end to work independently to see if they watch each other as to what they are building or try something on their own.

 

Social Skills Time

In my room along with working on academics, we also work on social skills. By the way, did I mention we have FUN?!?!?!? I just got done working with two students on social skills. They always like the board games that require thinking, cooperative work and that brings lots of laughs. I thought I would share with you what we do. Beware, the students thought it would be fun to take a silly picture!

They are working very hard and thinking what card the are going to move next to get the dogs home safely.

 

 

Then they had to take a picture together!

Here comes them being silly!!! They make me giggle every time the come in my room!
