Description

This is a list of 165 words related to school, household, professions, playground, and cafeteria students can use to write stories. School, household, professions, playground, and cafeteria are all words related to different aspects of a person's life. School is related to a person's education, while the household is related to where a person lives. Professions concern what a person does for a living, while playground relates to where children play. Lastly, the cafeteria refers to the food that is served in a school or workplace. Tactics: (1) Play in Icy Dicey and have students take 3 rolls in a row to get their vocabulary for their short story. (2) Have students say which category the item would belong in.

What are activity lists?

An activity list consists of activity list items which can be phonemes, blends, words, minimal pairs, phrases, sentences, and/or paragraphs.

A list can contain all of the same type of items (i.e. word list) or it could be a mix of different types of items (i.e. some words and some minimal pairs).

Activity lists are not only for speech therapists. Ambiki has many activity lists for OTs and PTs as well.

As an example, an OT might use a "Zones of Regulation" activity list to work on Emotional Regulation with a patient.

A PT might use a "Coordination Activities" list with a patient to practice Strength or Bilateral Coordination exercises.

An alternate way to think of an activity list is that it is like a manual for how to use a PDF resource. Ambiki activity lists are connected to Ambiki PDF resources. The activity list is a way to look at a resource from another perspective - to cover the resource completely from preparation to the end of the session. Each activity list item provides a way that you can elicit a response from your client.
