Guest Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi all, I have a SEN boy in my class who just is not able to retain anything. I am planning to do some activities with him (things like the tray game) but would appreciate any ideas to keep it interesting. Thanks Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Putting things in a bag and getting them to feel and see if he can remember what's in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennim Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi, look at CBBC site for lots of memory games - pelmanism types games are also good. If you use cards with pictures of items he relates to he may tune in more readily? Find out what he's into at the moment - Ben 10 / cars / dinosaurs etc - you might be able to 'google' relevant images, print them and make into cards for him. As he progresses you could add the initial sound to match the picture, reinforcing letter sounds at the same time. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I went to the shop and I bought an apple an apple and a banana an apple and a banana and a pint of milk adding an extra item and remembering the previous items following instructions use toys park the red car in the first space park the red car in the first space and the blue car in the middle space as he becomes more confident at remembering increase the number of things he needs to remember put a selection of small items in the middle of a circle and ask children in turn to select items to put in boxes try to recall items in order open each box in turn to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I think the feeling things in a bag is an excellent idea. You need to find his learning style. Try and do everything in a multisensory way using VAK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
