Fall Fishing Freebie

Fall is here, but the weather in South Texas says different; around here it's still hot most days. I have a friend who asks me almost daily "Do you think it's boot weather, yet"? It's sad to say my response is that same of No. Therefore, in order to get myself in the spirit of Fall and upcoming holidays I have created a Fall Fishing game.

The template is located under the "Printables" tab. 

So this Fall Fishing activity can be used however you would like; as a reinforcement, to elicit language, to work on social skills, etc. I say go forth and be creative with it. 

Materials Needed:

Handouts

Printer

Laminator 

Paper clips

Tape

Magnetic Fishing Pole

Examples of ways I plan to use the game:

Articulation: 

Depending of the item the child catches will determine how many times they say their target sound. Example: If a child catches the Pie, he/she will have to say their target sound  3 times each. 

Language: 

The variations are endless. Example: If a child is working on the various parts of speech (i.e. verb tense) perhaps the scarecrow represents past tense verbs, the pumpkin future tense, and so on. Therefore, depending on what  the child catches he are she may have to produce a sentence with that verb or if you provide a word give the future or past tense form of that verb. Note: Any way you choose to play with Language will require a little extra prepping.

Reinforcement:

Every time a student/client  give a correct response for a skill correct have him or her fish out a cool Fall item. 

Social Skills:

Have the kids work on turn taking skills. The possibilities are endless.

Be creative and have fun, it's Fall !!!!
