Do you need a fun theme idea for your classroom or therapy sessions? A Pizza Party can be a fun end of the year or last day of school activity.
I have a student that loves pandas. She requested a zoo theme for our upcoming therapy sessions. I decided to put together a few ideas to share.
Do you need Earth Day ideas for your classroom or occupational therapy sessions? When planning for my OT students I work to include options for gross motor, social emotional, fine motor, visual perception, writing/keyboarding, craft and a game.
If you are looking for a fun way to work on executive function planning skills, consider drawing. Students must picture what the end result of any task will look like before they can plan where to start. This ability is difficult for many children. They need models and assistance to improve the ability to picture what something will look like when it is all done, plan what they need, gather materials, initiate, and work through the task to completion. Whether it be a clean room, a simple craft, a drawing an essay, or a project, they need to start with the end in mind.
Check out these ideas for Easter. Included in this post are ideas for gross motor, fine motor, sensory, & visual perceptual activities. The activities & printables selected will help with motor development & skill acquisition. They can be sent home for distance learning or kept at school for centers, rotations, occupational therapy sessions, or early finishers.
If you are like me, you don’t have a lot of time to plan. Over the past 20 years, I have been collecting ideas for self-regulation, emotions, visual perception, gross motor, fine motor… and I want to share them with you. Here are some printables, activities, and crafts for your Spring classroom or therapy themes.
I love Spring and all the crafts and activities I can use with my students. This forsythia craft is low prep and requires very few materials. With this simple craft, you can facilitate a fingertip grasp, target fine motor skills, and proprioception.
I love having activities and printables for a different theme each week. I can work on the OT goals of my students that have a variety of skills and developmental levels. Activities and worksheets to work on sensory, social-emotional, visual perception, fine motor, and gross motor skills are included for each theme.
