This is a sensory story I created for my topic 'seasons'. This was written for a PMLD/ CLDD class.
I have written it with the sentence, the sense, the sensory experience and what I and my TAs are looking for and observing throughout the sessions.
Repeat story throughout the term to enable the child to develop anticipation, investigation, awareness, preference and much more.
Could also be used in an EYFS KS1 class.
This is my version of a popular game - Dobble.
Dobble is a simple pattern recognition game in which players try to find an image shown on two cards.
Each card in Dobble features eight different symbols, with the symbols varying in size from one card to the next. Any two cards have exactly one symbol in common. For the basic Spot it! game, reveal one card, then another. Whoever spots the symbol in common on both cards claims the first card, then another card is revealed for players to search, and so on. Whoever has collected the most cards when the 55-card deck runs out wins!
I hope you find it useful. Please, leave a review I will be very grateful!
