May 15, 2017 Good Morning Alexa (Monday/Games)



Good Morning! If you've got a case of the "Mondays", let’s play a game. I have memory games, quiz games, and even choose-your-own-adventure. Just ask, play a game.


What does Alexa mean by "A Case of the Mondays?"  She means feeling blah or having a hard time waking up and getting to work.  Are Mondays like that for you?

Alexa talks about games and she wants you to choose her to play a game and lift your spirits.  There are many types of games:  Active Games (that you mostly play outside), video games, card games (including Pokemon and Magic, The Gathering), and board games.  

Why do people play games?  Sometimes people play games because they want to have fun and keep themselves occupied.  Other people only want to play games if they can win.  Do you like to play games?  Why?

Just say, "what museums are near me," and I'll help find one for you! It can be really fun to visit a museum.  Most museums have areas or exhibits that are designed to teach the visitor something.  Sometimes you can touch things and sometimes you can't.  What museums have you been to? museum worksheet Here is a "used" worksheet.  Notice that I drew a kitty in the corner as my student with apraxia had difficulties saying Museum and we had to say "Meeeee yoooo seum".  The back of the paper is where I drew a picture and definition of an exhibit.
