Re: Turn taking games

[Guest guest]

Hi Krishna and All, (That this isn't as good as we can be by as much?

Playing catch, teeter-totter, table-hockey, fusball, (or something like that)

ping-pong, volley-ball, badmington, tennis, etc. They don't work any other way

(are auto-prompting?) but by turn-taking, and they're physical/3-dimensional

activities, like our kids often like if not especially pick up on. Vary it up

with what you're playing catch with?!. There we go, is my sense of It.. .

Best wishes,

Mike Glavic

Here is a link to a blog I wrote in the fall about teaching children with autism

to play (and enjoy) games:

Hello,

We are trying to develop play skills for my 6 year old son with Autism. Does

anybody have any ideas for Turn taking games for the beginners?

We started off with Candyland but now he is bored. He doesn't like Chute and

Ladder as its takes long to finish.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thank you

My 21 yo dtr started with connect 4; this worked as we were able to cover the

slot and prevent her from only taking her turn. Her objective has never been to

win a game but to get it over with. We've had success with Zingo also.
