We played this "game show" style. Students lined up in a line to wait for their turn. We used the dry erase board to keep a tally score. The lights were labeled "beginning" "middle" and "end." For their turn, the students listened while I read a paragraph-long story. They had to use their strategies to recall the three step sequence. Then I asked them about one event in the sequence. To get their "point" they had to tap on the appropriate light.
We had so much fun practicing our listening comprehension skills with my new fun toy!! They are so motivated when it is a competition! A bonus for me, I have my data collection!
Feel free to email me other ideas you have used in your therapy rooms with tap lights! I would love to hear them!
Grab your copy of the listening paragraphs here!
I love this idea! I must get to the dollar store and snag some of these tap lights. Thanks so much for adding the listening paragraphs for download!
ReplyDeleteAnytime! I've been a frequent flier lately at some local dollar stores and the dollar section at Target! I will try and post some more Tap Light ideas soon!
