Color Numbers
Setting: classroom, dining room, or den.
Ingredients:
Color Stickers
Paper
Markers
Instructions:
First take a piece of paper and write
random numbers in different areas throughout the paper.
At the bottom create a guide with a
visual aid of what sticker color goes where according to the number.
Have the individual place color stickers
next to the numbers they identify with.
Purpose: This
exercise demonstrates sequencing by having the individual follow the pattern of
what numbers associate with what colors. It also exercised following directions
that are needed for work and school. Even though they were not verbal, they
were shown through the use of the legend at the bottom of the number page and
not verbal cues the individual still needed to understand identification of the
number itself o know what color went with what number. Knowledge of numbers for
a younger individual can help with simple math skills in school.
Fine motor
control was also used to peel the stickers and place beside the number.
Across the body
motions were also used or could be by placing familiar numbers to the
individual on the opposite side of the paper than their dominant hand. Uses of
unfamiliar numbers are encouraged in order to expand exposure.
