Games & apps
We have compiled some of our favorite games and apps that you and you child will enjoy, but that also have some kind of therapeutic value!
Learning Chess Game
This has the rules for each piece on the actual piece. It makes the game playable for kids and adults who do not know the rules!
Imagination Patterns
This is also a great activity for kids with spatial awareness challenges and planning deficits. But, most kids enjoy making these patterns. And, the way it is packages makes it easy to take with you.
Goldi Box
I would describe these as a combination of Tinker Toys and Legos. Each set comes with instructions to build various structures or the child can just create their own ideas. We have these in a plastic bin in the car and take them everywhere. Look up the story behind their creation – it is really amazing.
Jenga
Great for ALL ages
PAttern Play
This is fun for all of my kids, but I bought it particularly for the one’s with spatial awareness challenges.
Telestrations
An ageless game that will make everyone laugh. This game combines the idea of playing Telephone with Pictionary. Any and all ages can play and enjoy!
Blokus
This is wonderful for special awareness, math sense and strategizing. Our whole family enjoys this game.
Quoridor
This is the ultimate power packed strategy game. Once you learn how to play, it is fast, fun and wonderful brain work. I have a foldable travel size game, but it is out of production. They are still available on ebay. There is a travel size available on Amazon, but it is different from mine.
Keva Structures
This has to be one of my favorite things! It is nearly impossible not to start building and anything you build ends up turning in to a fete of engineering.
Headbanz
Again, all ages enjoy this, but I like it specifically for my kids who don’t necessary plan well because you have to follow the questioning to know what to ask next. We have created scripts with a flow chart that have proven helpful!
Logic Links
This is wonderful for special awareness, math sense and strategizing. Our whole family enjoys this game.
Battleship
An oldie but goodie
