I've
been telling you how I want to incorporate some occupational therapy
goals into speech therapy sessions and I came up with a great idea. I
will be using these Fine Motor centers at the end of each session. There
are 9 centers and I plan on using 1 each week so that is over 2 months
of ideas.
Fine Motor Centers
•In
this
pack are fine motor packs that you can use for your class or speech therapy.
They will
work
as
centers or group
activities.
The centers target: cutting, coloring, dabbing, lacing, hole
punching, play-doh and tracing. These kits target the fine motor skills of
students which are good for all students to work on
and perfect. In
addition to fine motor skills, there are also opportunities for learning number
and letters, as well.
•There
are 9 packs and you can put them in small plastic containers to keep them
organized. Some of the packs can be printed on card stock and laminated to be
used over and over, others can be printed on normal paper, stapled and given to
students as booklets- low prep! You can also place extra copies in your class
for students to work on as early finishers.
•Print
all activities on normal paper except activities 3
and 8 on card stock and then laminate.
You can also laminate the label and
instruction pages.
•What you
need: bingo
dabbers, play-doh, scissors, pencils, hand held hole punches, crayons, cotton
swabs (cut in half), liquid paint, small container for paint, shoe laces and
container or large re-sealable plastic bags
for your centers.
•Lacing
kit-
cut and laminate and then hole punch where ever you like and have the students
use laces to practice.
