Picture Resources: Dressing Game + picture cards + tips to help your child understand and use words for some clothes and some animals.
These resources are designed to be used with the ‘Meg and Mog’ book, but all the activities can also be used without the book.
There is dressing game: a girl’s (witch’s) face and a cat’s face, both backed with card and laminated, with matching WITCH’S HAT, DRESS, SHOES, SPIDER, NIGHT CAP, PYJAMAS, SLIPPERS and TEDDY velcro’d onto a baseboard, linked to the page in the book where the witch gets dressed. There are 4 example pictures of the cat and the witch dressed ready to go out and ready to go to bed.
The picture cards are of a WITCH, a WORM, a SPIDER, a FROG, and a BAT laminated in non-reflective Matt plastic and attached to a baseboard with Velcro dots, that are compatible with PECS products (Picture Exchange Communication System).
There are 2 place boards picturing a BED and a CAULDRON laminated and backed with card for extra durability. There is a sound associated with each place - a shriek for the bed (AAAHH!) when a creature is placed on it, and the spell ABRACADABRA! for the cauldron when a creature goes into it.
There is a pack of 12 picture instruction cards, featuring the WITCH, WORM, SPIDER, FROG and BAT in each place (e.g. the bat in the bed, the frog in the cauldron), laminated in non-reflective Matt plastic and held together with an elastic band.
The resources are designed to help children understand and use language at the 1 word level for clothes and animals (Who’s in the BED?, Where are the SHOES?, Where’s the WITCH now?) and at the 2 word level (put the BAT in the CAULDRON; where’s the WITCH’S HAT?) They can also be used at the 3 and 4 word level: (e.g. put the FROG and the WORM in the BED, put the PYJAMAS and SLIPPERS on the CAT; put the SPIDER in the BED and the WITCH in the CAULDRON, put the DRESS on the CAT and the PYJAMAS on the WITCH).
Finally there is an advice sheet, backed with card, with tips for using the resources to boost your child’s speech and language.
The picture resources and advice sheet fit into an A4 popper bag, labelled with a brown parcel tag ,for convenience and durability.
This resource extends the language-boosting potential of a well-loved book, with picture games that work well for children with delayed language, for children with autism, and for children learning English as an additional language.
