Conversation Jenga
I used this conversation jenga twice this past week with two different groups of kiddos with autism between the ages of 6-8. It was a huge hit and it only took me maybe 15 minutes to make!
Find it on amazon.ca here and amazon.com here.
How to play:
Play just as you would regular jenga
When the children pull out a block they ask a friend or yourself the question
With each turn their will be switches between the roles of “asker” and “answerer”
Goals to target:
social skills
conversation skills
eye contact
turn taking
teamwork
fine motor skills
answering questions appropriately
Other goal ideas:
articulation (different sounds on the blocks)
instructions
actions
Patient population:
children with DLD
children with autism
children who need more assistance with developing goals mentioned above
How to:
come up with questions or find some ideas online
print the questions
cute the questions out into small squares
tape the questions onto the blocks
Tip: Leave some blocks blank to have the children generate their own questions
