Fly Swatters: Print out on card stock (if possible) and laminate. I printed mine on paper and mounted them on card stock (with glue) and they are sturdy!
• How to use.
The students will swat the flies off of the food as they practice each target word. I have my students practice each word 5-10X (for 75-150 total trials per mat). The students will practice each word as they squish play dough on top of each fly (to simulate a squished fly ewww!).
Black and White Copy: The student will practice each word and color in the fly (they could also scribble black all over the fly to simulate a squished fly eww!!). You could also used daubers!!
You can also use magnetic bingo chips and a magnetic wand with these pages.
Other Tips:
Practice the mat in therapy and send home the black and white copy as homework!
Use a real fly swatter for a more realistic experience! ha ha!
