Just a quick note on the sort of activities we've been running in our programmes called 'The Amazing Family Space Circus'. The video shows how children and adults can practise their speaking/listening skills, improve on their ability to give and take instruction as well as have a bit of fun at the same time!
This activity has proved to be really popular; several children who attend our sessions have speech problems and are regularly seen by a speech therapist. Both the therapist and teaching staff have commented on the improvement of these children on their involvement in class and their contributions to class discussions.
How do you play this version? Well, you have to demonstrate the game first. One person draws an 'alien' on their mini whiteboard, without their partner seeing. They then have to describe the alien to their partner, who tries to copy it on their own mini whiteboard.
The game can then progress to making aliens out of playdough!
I have attached a short video of a group in action - it's a bit noisy, but gets the point across well.
