In Therapy we did a planting activity, all of my clients really enjoyed this activity. Some of the skills that were targeted during this activity included the following:
- Sequencing
- Synonyms
- Antonyms
- Increasing Vocabulary
- Pragmatic Skills
- Inferencing
- Following Directions
I like to incorporate various themes when planning activities for my sessions. We discussed the plant cycle, the parts of a plant, the tools that are needed to plant, vocabulary words that were related to planting, and a lot of other skills were targeted. This activity can be modified for different age groups, it was functional and fun!
Below are some websites that had some activities to go with the planting theme:
