When meeting with my students and accomplishing their goals, I like to use different games, where I also create therapeutic thinking questions for the games. For example, for Jenga, I write on each block specific questions that is the focus of the activity such Anger or Social Skill. On the blocks will have the question and they must pick a block read it and answer it before placing it back in the pile. For Uno cards, I use the colors as a way to identify the questions they must answer. For example, if a player has a red card, them must pick a index card labeled red, read it answer it and move on. The board games I leave as is, which promotes social skills with peers that focus on communication skills, patience, and taking turns. The Simon games help my students who struggle with anger, ADHD, and Patience. This game helps them to concentrate and focus on the lighted shapes. In doing so, we practice breathing exercises and counting when frustrated. The beads, are used to practice patience as well. It may seem easy, but for some students who can barely concentrate and ask them to make a special gift for a loved one, they try really hard to make it perfect. Using games not only is fun for students, but it's a great way to teach my students life skill techniques that they will need to be able to handle life's challenges.
