Does anyone get more excited about dollar bin items than a teacher? I doubt it.
When I was out Target a few weekends ago I perused through their dollar area and found these little plastic pumpkins. (They also had leaves and acorns.) My kids LOVE anything that is jewel like, so I snatched up 3 of the pumpkin packages. I knew I could use them for some fun reinforcement.
I like fast reinforcers. In therapy, I don’t like to use games that take a million years to set up, take a lot of time per turn, have a lot of pieces, take up a ton of space, are noisy, etc. My goal is always to get the most target sound or language practice out of my kids. I also need items that travel well and are easy to use in a variety of settings.
Here is what I came up with to go along with my pumpkin jewels, but you don’t need the jewels to play this. It works with any tokens, dots, or coloring. I even filled in words on top of the pictures for home reinforcement of speech sounds.
I field tested, and the kids LOVED it.
Here is a link to the FREE reinforcement pages in my TPT store. (The only thing a teacher likes better than a dollar bin find is a freebie.)
Happy fall!
