34- Solitaire
Either engage the student in a game of Solitaire on the computer (which can be found under the Start menu and under Accessories and then under Games), or with a deck of playing cards
35- Word Search
LEVEL 1 - Write four letters with a three-letter word imbedded inside, (for example: PDOG). Ask the student to circle or underline the word. Make as many letter sequences with imbedded words as possible. As the student is successful, imbed the words in 5-letter strings, (i.e., PDOGF) or use four letter words in five- or six-letter strings, (i.e. TDOOR, YSPITB).
LEVEL 2 - Once the student is successful with this, word search blocks can be attempted. These can easily be found at grocery stores, teacher resource centers or discount department stores. You can also create your own.
LEVEL 3 - Obtain the game Boggle or create something similar by writing letters on small squares of paper and arranging them randomly in a square. You can make the game easier by limiting the number of letter squares and turning all the letters to face the student.
