Motivation is essential for encouraging communication, increasing language use, enhancing engagement, supporting skill development, building independence, and promoting social interaction. Motivating activities create opportunities for learners to practice manding by linking communication to meaningful outcomes.
Our summer camp fun continued with the caterpillar building a cosy cocoon! Inspired by this favourite activity from Camp 2023, we made chocolate Krispy cakes to create our own cocoons, crafted handprint caterpillars, and even used the parachute to build cocoons.
Parachute games are a fantastic way to boost social skills, as more children playing together makes the parachute rise higher, adding to the fun and providing opportunities for pairing and interacting with peers. Each activity was also filled with chances to practice manding, making communication both enjoyable and effective.
