My students love to play games! Playing games such as Charades for Kids, Swing and Catch Cups, Bingo, and Just My Size Golf with peers will help my students develop social skills that have been affected tremendously by the pandemic especially for students with autism. We need to use every opportunity to teach and reinforce learning in the classroom. Students on the spectrum have difficulty being able to blend home with school work. They are very compartmental and scheduled with their day. So, when most go home they are not prepared or even willing to do school work at home. So, during Sensory Time, not only can the Translucent Sensory Rings in the Light Table Sensory Tray be used for individual sensory issues, students can share play time and continue to develop their social skills. Having Sensory Sand, a Sensory Sand Set, and Sensory Sand Ice Cream Set in the sand table for students to have creative play time together strengthens their social skills as well. Playing educational games like What Should You Do? A Game of Consequences as a life skills lesson, Pirate Island Reading for Details Game during reading time, and Pop Learn Letters Numbers Game during math will help my students learn social skills and build their, life, reading and math skills that they have lost because of being in quarantine so much since March 2020. Independently, students can play Reading Skills folder games and Math Skills folder games to reinforce skills that are taught in class and will help students catch up in the skills they are lacking because of losses they have endured due to the pandemic. Playing catch up is not easy, but can be fun if we use play to catch up.
