Auditory Processing Party! {Giveaway}

Happy Monday! Are you working this week or are you one of the lucky ones still in their pajamas reading this? Last year I was one of the lucky ones but this year is a little different. I wanted to share with you one of my newest activity packets. 

Not gonna lie, I am pretty excited about it!

There seems to be more and more children being identified with Auditory Processing Disorders and many more demonstrating characteristics of this disorder. Last week I shared my Operation Recall activity with you all and I am super excited to introduce a new AP game... Auditory Processing Party!

This activity is a fun "Popcorn Party" themed game that targets auditory processing skills. 

Here is how you play:

Print out one popcorn container for each student playing the game (they are pictured above). There is no limit on how many players can participate in the game. This makes it easy for one on one therapy or group therapy sessions!

A fun variation on this game would be using actual popcorn containers that you can find at the dollar store or glueing the popcorn container pictures to paper bags for the kids to fill!

Print and cut out popcorn pieces on page 4. Print multiple copies of this page. These pieces will be stored on the large full popcorn container (pictured below)  during the game. As students take turns answering questions from the cards, they earn a piece of popcorn for their own container.

The question cards are separated into 6 categories:  

Auditory Discrimination 

Phonological Blending 

Remembering Numbers 

Remembering Words 

Comprehension 

Inferencing

 Use all the categories or just the ones your students need to practice. There are 2 pages of cards for each category.

I store the cards separately by category and use the title card on top of each deck for convince. 

Same and Different words included. 

Blending up to 6 sounds to create a word. 

Up to 7 number combinations included.

Up to 5 combinations of related and unrelated words are included. 

Take turns asking your students questions from the cards. As they answer the questions correctly, they get a piece of popcorn for their own container. The winner of the game has the most popcorn in their container at the end of your session!

Operation: Recall! {A New Activity For Memory Recall}

Happy Wednesday (actually it's late, I should be saying Happy Thursday to most of you!) I hope you all have had a wonderful week so far. I wanted to write a post tonight to highlight a new product in my store. I have a few students on my caseload that have difficulty with auditory processing. We have been working on following multistep directions, but I wanted to create a fun activity that would also help with short term memory recall. 

Introducing.... Operation:Recall

This activity includes 3 pages of picture cards: 

Sea Creatures

Community Helpers

Colored Pencils

This is a great way to work on vocabulary while targeting memory and following directions skills. 

Also included in this packet are "Mission" cards. The way I play this game, I choose a card and tell the student, "Your mission is to collect- 1 yellow pencil and 1 crab." They cannot go get the item until I say "Go!" This prevents them from picking up cards while I am giving directions. Usually I have the students repeat what their mission is back to me to give extra reinforcement. 

If space permits, put the cards on a separate table or on the floor. This way the child has to move to go get the cards instead of searching for them as you are giving directions. 

I have included themed/related mission cards as well as unrelated cards. So if you only want to target community helpers, you can simply use the community helper cards. Eventually, move on to the unrelated cards for an extra challenge. 

Also included in this activity packet are blank cards so you can create your own missions!

Above is a picture of one of my little lovies on a mission. She insisted on wearing the hat to make it more official!
