Instructional Ideas

  • Laminate cards for continued use throughout the school year 
  • When learners have difficulty speaking and listening to their peers, play the game to reinforce good habits 
  • Play the game at the start of year to set social skill standards

Classroom Considerations

  • Requires prep-work—cutting and writing cards 

Pros

  • Listening, speaking, and taking turns are skills needed inside and outside of school among learners with and without learning disabilities
  • Materials are minimal and easy to store 

Cons

  • None
