Scarves are wonderful speech therapy tools. They elicit and target many language skills. They target pragmatic and social language skills when students pair up to hold the scarves or share the scarves and when the students requests them from an adult or a peer. They target the learning of new words when students label and describe the scarves and how they can use them in different ways. Scarves make an excellent and fun therapy tool.

This seems to be a great sharing and cooperative activity that could enhance my students’ social and pragmatic skills. I can’t wait to implement it.

My students attend, participate, and imitate ribbon-wand movements and directions better when adults and peers are actually modeling the movements and directions rather than the adult or peer leader holding up directional signs.   The directional signs seem abstract to them.  They also seem participate more when the movements are accompanied with cheerful dance music and know that they have a chance to lead the group.

The IEP goals that may be addressed during Floor Map activities are auditory processing, following verbal directives, greeting peers, and peer participation/interaction.
