| | | Here are some Activity Ideas to get you started... - Scan to find the numbers in sequential order (Use as few or as many needed to challenge the client). Move them to an empty block.
- Switch hands each time you move a block.
- Repeat using the alphabet-letter side of the cubes.
- Say the letter/number and the color of the base block your moving the die from and then what color your moving it to.
- Use a tool like a zoo stick or heavy duty tong to move the blocks.
- Use the dotted side of the dice as the base block, find and match its corresponding number.
- Follow a number or letter sequence that is written or taped to the board or wall. Position the sequence in front or behind the client.
- Combine tasks to adjust the challenge, scaling it to your clients needs; Use fewer blocks, add movement, spread them out, count backwards...
