Decorate a Jack-O-Lantern:
I printed a large picture of a pumpkin on card stock for the background. Then I cut jack-o-lantern parts out of black foam with a sticky back. After my client said a target word, he chose a piece, peeled off the back, and stuck it on his jack-o-lantern. I cut out funny mouths, eyes, noses, as well as a spider, a lightning bolt, a bat, and a witch's hat and broom. My client really enjoyed this activity.
Glow in the Dark Ring Toss:
I put two glow in the dark bracelets together to form rings, then attached target words to each of them. I put some marbles in the bottom of a water bottle, then a glow in the dark bracelet. We turned the lights off, and my client threw the rings around the water bottle. Since we are working on carrier phrases, when he threw a ring he said, "_____ hit it."
Monster Ball:
I cut open tissue boxes to make wide mouths for the "monsters." I cut out pieces of an egg carton, and drew black circles in the middle, for eyes. Next, I cut white card stock to form sharp teeth. I attached target words to balls that my client then threw into the monsters' mouths.
Wrap a Mummy:
My client LOVED this activity. Each time he correctly said a target word, I wrapped a few layers of toilet paper around him, until he was completely covered like a mummy, except for his eyes. At the end, he got to bust out of the toilet paper, which he really enjoyed.
Happy Articulating!
