1-2-3 For Me Shamrock Game

I have played versions of Three for Me for years so I created a game for St. Patrick’s Day fun. It targets expanding vocabulary, descriptive language, categories, and higher-level thinking

Players scan the game board to find three objects with something in common.  Whenever a player finds three items they shout out, “Three For Me!”. They mark the items and tell why they go-together. A player can break another’s set to create their own threesome. It’s a fast-paced frenzy collecting the most rainbow markers to win.

Parents and I model new and complex vocabulary and descriptions we want the child to use on their turn. By overhearing they will soon use these words on their turns. It is yet another way to expand a child’s listening, auditory association and comprehension skills  

STAY HOME. STAY WELL. PLAY WAR.

Looking for a fun game to play with your kids? Grab a deck of cards for a game of WAR. Follow the traditional game directions except lay the cards face down and announce the name of the card being played such as Four of Hearts or King of Diamonds. The key is to listen and NOT look! If the player sees the cards they lose the opportunity to focus on hearing alone.

Download my FREEBIE game companion and reference card. You may want to share it as a handout with your families as many are seeking ways to keep their kids entertained while moving closer to meeting their child's listening and language goals.

LUCKY YOU!

I founded my auditory verbal practice decades ago but creating LSL therapy resources for parents and professionals is a whole new game! I dreamed about this for years - then took the plunge. Whew! 
My advice to you and whatever your dream is - Start small. Start scared. Start before you're ready. I did!

I Build Brains! Do you?

Building brains

In a current Learning Experience or online course with HearingFirst.org, entitled LSL Auditory Verbal Strategies and Techniques, a discussion emerged about the importance of auditory verbal therapists being "brain builders and sharing the importance of a child’s first five years of life with families. The video shared in the course was powerful!

"BRAIN POWER: From Neurons to Networks"

Take 10 minutes and watch the video!

Do you know that:
Children's brains have over a quadrillion connections, which is more than adults who have 300 trillion connections, and the ENTIRE internet, which has about 100 trillion connections.

Children are not born with this many connections. They are formed by the child's interactions at a rate of 700 to 1000 new connections per second during the first 3 to 5 years of life. These connections form the "architecture" of the brain. 

Every single time you or whoever interacts with a child, their brain is quite literally being built!

If you are interacting with your child, you are a brain builder just like me!
