a-e Phonic Game: 'E' or no 'E'? Print 'n Play!
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, Activities, Games
Here is a simple, fun, print n' play phonic game to help children learn the split digraph a-e. Your pupils will learn in no time with this easy-to-play game! This is a game for 2 players. The pack included both colour and black and white versions. Laminate the colour version for durability and sen the black and white version home for extra practice. Who can use the a-e phonic Game? Teachers, Parents home-educators Private Tutors Anyone who needs it! Aim of the game: ·To demonstrate how the short vowel sound /a/ changes when ‘e’ is added to make /ae/. ·To give the child plenty of practice recognising the difference between /a/ words and /ae/ words. How to play: Place the picture/word cards in a pile and put the ‘e’ cards neatly on the table. Players take turns to take a spot card from the feely bag. A green spot means that the player should take the topmost picture/word card from the pile and place it in front of him/her. S/he must then decide (by reading the word, sounding out if necessary) whether or not this word requires an ‘e’ or not to change the /a/ to /ae/. If needed the ‘e’ should be added and the card set aside by the player. If not, the word should be placed likewise. Should a red spot be picked, the player must miss a turn. The winner is the player with the most completed cards when al the cards have been used up. Should a player add an ‘e’ when it is not needed, or fail to add one when it is needed should/would/could lose the card, should the teacher deem it helpful to the child. In some cases, the teacher may allow the child help and let the child keep the card once corrected. This is at the teacher's discretion bearing in mind the needs of each child. Teaching tips: This game provides the opportunity for the pupil and teacher to see just where there are problems - listen out for the ‘messages’ in a pupil’s hesitation, his/her misreading of a word so that it does not describe the picture, or thoughtlessness in studying the word and picture carefully to decide about the need, or not, of the ‘e’. These are all indicators of understanding. discipline is required too as the pupil realises that letters in words and spelling are important. For many pupils, this is a new discovery. ‘Look what you have done to ‘hat’! You have changed it into ‘hate’ by putting ‘e’ on the end! This states the problem and for many pupils is the key to sorting out whether an ‘e’ is needed or not. Included: 1 PDF file with 1 game in both colour and black and white.

Going on an Airplane Social Story
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities
Airplane travel can be an exciting adventure, but also filled with uncertainty for many children. For kids on the autism spectrum especially, the unfamiliar surroundings and procedures can heighten confusion and anxiety without proper preparation. This social story resource aims to walk children through air travel from start to finish in a detailed yet reassuring way. The story covers every phase, using simple language and visual supports. It explains what to expect when getting tickets, packing bags, and arriving at the airport. Going through security, waiting at the gate, boarding, and taking off are all described in concrete terms. While seated on the plane, appropriate behaviors are outlined along with various occupying activities for the flight like reading books, listening to music, or watching movies. finally, the story describes the sensations of descending and landing as well as exiting the plane and airport. Common emotions a child may experience throughout are validated and labeled, like feeling eager, nervous, bored, or impatient at different points. Suggestions for coping strategies are woven in, like asking for hugs, taking deep breaths, requesting snacks, or stretching. The consistency of the narrative and matter-of-fact tone provide stability children can hold onto. By naming specific sites, sounds, procedures and feelings to expect, uncertainty is diminished. Walking through the entire airport/airplane experience start to finish, this social story is an ideal method for preparing autistic children for airplane travel. It allows them to fully understand and participate in this immersive real-world activity that requires certain social-emotional skills - exactly what social stories are designed for. These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.

Changing Negative Self-Talk Into Positive Self-Talk SEL Presentation
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Elementary, Middle School, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Coloring Pages, Worksheets
In this Google Slide SEL presentation, students will learn how to change their negative thoughts into positive ones. There is a quote at the beginning of the slide show that says "Watch what you tell yourself, you're likely to believe it." by Russ Kyle. The students can share what they think this quote means to them. Then there is an educational slide on the value of changing their negative thoughts into positive ones. Then the students will have 12 slides to practice changing negative thoughts into realistic and positive ones. They can do this as a turn and talk with a partner, whole group instruction, or in their table groups. You can decide the best approach for your students. After they practice 12 different thoughts, the students will participate in an elimination game using a playing deck of cards. You will randomly pull a red or black card and students need to declare which one they think you will pull before you pull it. There are directions on the slide notes. The goal is for them to say out loud to the person next to them about which one they guess is going to get pulled for their own accountability. Ask students to pay attention to their own self-talk during this game. This game is based on luck only. You can play the game as many times as you want as time allows. Lastly, the students will get to color a mindfulness coloring sheet of a brain with their own name on it. You can make as many handouts as you have students in your class. Simply double click on the name and change it to the names of students in your class and press enter. Print off as many copies as you need.

Final or Ending Sounds Phonic Game Phonemic Awareness Activity
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Language Development, Phonics, Spelling, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, Activities, Games
Final or Ending Sounds Phonic Game Phonemic Awareness Activity A fun pack of two games to help children develop the important phonic skill of hearing the final (or ending) sound of a word. It covers the final sounds: t, d, k, g, p, b, m, s, n. Choose from: Build A Castle or Win the Race. The games are the same whichever you choose and use the same picture cards, but the choice of the game board means that children will not get bored playing the game again and again, plus the fact that you can increase the fun level to keep the children playing! (see below). Objectives This game pack has been designed to give children practice hearing the final sound of a word, something many children struggle with, especially those with a speech delay. It is hoped that, as the child has fun playing the game that the child's phonemic awareness can be developed. The game can also be used within speech therapy to help children distinguish between sounds which are produced in a like manner: k/g; p/b; t/d. Many children have difficulty with sounds that are produced using the same part of the mouth/voice/tongue. If this is true of your pupil, then I suggest that you start by playing the game with two sounds which are not at all similar. Once the child can confidently hear the final sound of a word, then the game can be played with sounds which are similar to help the child’s speech development and the ability to carefully discriminate between like sounds. Grade/ages These games are suitable for children of any age who need to learn to hear the final sound of a word. Games make learning easy, and children learn without knowing they are! Pre-K to teens with special needs will all love these games . The fact that the games allow for an increased challenge level is an added factor, making them games that children and young people will want to play again and again—all good practice for securing the skill of hearing that final sound! How many players? It is suggested that at first, each child plays alone with an adult until they hear the final sound. Then, up to 4 children can be invited to play together. Simply print out the number of game boards you need. Increase the fun level! Begin by playing the game simply. Once the child gains confidence and you wish to play again with sounds that are produced in a similar way or to give further practice, then add in some fun. Flag or wheel cards can be scattered amongst the pictures, and the teacher can choose what these mean - either extra turns or 'miss a go'. I made this game for a ten-year-old reluctant pupil. It worked, and now he can hear the final sound! Win Win!! What is included? 1 PDF File 2 versions of a game 63 picture cards Full instructions Picture Key

Special Resources, Creative Arts, Art, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Graphic Arts, Math, Patterns, Early Math, Geometry, Science, Basic Science, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Activities
Teaching young learners non-interlocking puzzles is important for a variety of reasons. Promotes problem-solving skills: Non-interlocking puzzles challenge young learners to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By figuring out how the pieces fit together, children develop their spatial awareness, logical reasoning, and attention to detail. Improves fine motor skills: As children manipulate the pieces of the puzzle, they develop their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. These skills are important for a range of activities, from writing and drawing to sports and other physical activities. Encourages persistence and resilience: Completing a puzzle requires persistence and resilience. Children learn that it takes time and effort to reach a goal, and that mistakes and setbacks are a natural part of the process. These skills can help them in other areas of their lives, such as academic work and extracurricular activities. Fosters a sense of accomplishment: Finishing a puzzle can give young learners a sense of accomplishment and pride. This can boost their self-esteem and confidence, and motivate them to take on other challenges. Provides a fun and engaging learning experience: Non-interlocking puzzles can be a fun and engaging way for young learners to learn new concepts and skills.

-GIRL VERSION- Why we teach sorting and grouping - Sorting and grouping are important skills for young children to learn because they lay the foundation for many other important academic and life skills. Sorting and grouping involve categorizing objects based on common attributes such as color, shape, size, and function. These skills help children to understand and make sense of the world around them. This is a color sorting activity for early learners.
