Auditory Adventures™ Activity Pack is a complete set of lessons, games, and

Prior to playing, the teacher chooses the lesson that is appropriate for the
students’ auditory weakness. (Lessons are on pages 1-32.) Then, the teacher selects
a game board. Boards #1-12 are open-ended games, Boards #13 and #14 are specific
games, Board #15 is a lotto game, Board #16 is a bingo game, and Boards #17 and
#18 are barrier games. On each lesson page, materials for the lesson include the
game board to be used. The teacher follows the game board instructions while
working on the auditory skill(s). (“How to Play” directions are on pages 120-124.)
Auditory Adventures™ allows each student to focus on an appropriate auditory skill
and level one at a time. For example, when playing Auditory Memory for Sentences,
students practice only simple sentences before advancing to compound or complex
sentences. By limiting the length of the sentence used in each game, students are
given the opportunity to master one level of auditory memory before going on to the
next set.
The activity sheets reinforce the lessons selected for each classroom or therapy
session. These materials are ready to use with minimal preparation for both
individual and group sessions. Blank master pages follow the activity sheets so that
you can tailor the activities for each child’s level. As students master the ability to
process information auditorily, the instructor may encourage them to use auditory
skills in daily activities.
Use Auditory Adventures™ Activity Pack to help your students achieve their IEP
goals and objectives. Class work and therapy will be fun and rewarding and your
students will enjoy listening!
