This is a great game for memory and sequencing with the addition of Makaton signs. How to play: One child or the adult starts by saying the sentence starter such as ‘I went to the farm and saw a…’ and adds one of the objects on the sheet (cow) to complete the sentence. The next person continues by saying the previous item (cow) and then something else (sheep). Continue around the group/class, adding one more item to the end of the list each time. The resource comes with 3 games in total, the shop, park and farm.

Storytelling creates a bond between the storyteller and the story explorer enhancing and enriching experiences. Rhyming Multisensory Stories connect the individual to literature, culture and topic in a fun and engaging way. The stories form a base on which to scaffold learning enabling the student to work on personal goals and individual targets. The activities in the stories are designed to promote communication skills: (eye contact, listening, shared attention & language development), self-confidence & well-being (trying out new ideas & skills, practicing self-care & independence and enjoying achievement), self-awareness: (asking for ‘help’, ‘again’ and ‘more’), present opportunities to explore cause & effect and build anticipation skills, promote physical development: (fine & gross motor skills), build knowledge about the environment & the world around us, to engage in scientific experimentation and mathematical concepts and to develop social & emotional skills: (turn-taking & sharing and teamwork). The sensory stimuli (story props) are a tool for the story explorer to explore and express their likes, dislikes and sensory preferences and to have the opportunity to make choices. This information can be used to identify motivators or items to calm and individual when anxious, tired or stressed, identify triggers, (some you may wish to avoid, others to work on building tolerance through desensitisation in a safe and therapeutic environment) and used in the writing of care plans to enhance areas daily life.
