How do you use it??: Paper Bags

 

Speech Time Fun again is hosting their How Do You Use It? Linky Party! This month's edition is about paper bags. Here is how we use them in our speech room.

Surprise Bags: At the end of last school year we gave out flexible thinking bags in our social skills groups. We used paper bags that contained flexible thinking strategies and fidgets to help with calming and to help remind students to remember their flexible thinking over the summer. 

  

Book Covers: In the past I would have students design their own book covers for their favorite book. We would use paper bags as the cover and they could glue on or draw the front picture and then write their own summary on the back. 

Crafts Galore: Puppets, Weaving and Paper Mache. These crafts are great for students to follow multi-step directions, and work together asking and answering questions.

Describing: We like to put different objects in the bags and have students describe what they feel.  The others students try to guess what's in the bag!
