A visually supported guide for how to play the card game ‘Go Fish’. This resource uses appropriate language for KS2 and above, and was written for KS4 and KS5 pupils in a special school. Vocabulary is simple and defined, and the processes of the card game are shown in easy to understand visual sequences, using card faces. The resource was designed by a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist to enable students, with a wide range of cognitive abilities, to enhance their social skills and access structured activities at break times.

LEarning a card game gives students a life long skill and interest. Card games teach patience and social skills, and give children a quick way to start and maintain interaction with a wider range of students. Teaching structured games can help autistic students to develop friendships, and to make the most of break times - which can often be overwhelming!

Go Fish is a fun and easy to pick up game, which develops memory skills as well as card recognition and matching. The game can also be used to explore statistics and probability. Easy to play at first, students can be quickly engaged and then be challenged to learn and improve.
