The game itself is more complex. There is a rainbow colored game board with instructions in the spaces, such as draw a card and get a raindrop. There is a blank umbrella with simple raindrops to collect and clip onto your umbrella. When you land on a space and have to draw a card, there are questions on the cards to answer. If you are working on communication and socialization, then the kids can just answer the questions, but if you want to squeeze in some writing, then they have to write down their answer.

  1. I love this, Tonya! Just got around to viewing this newsletter!!!! I will pin and use:) thanks!

  2. Very cute idea, but be careful with clothespins. In your own photo, you’re hyper extending at the IP joint of the thumb. Our little kiddos do not have the fine motor precision to safely operate clothespins and switch to power and hyperextend at the thumb, which is counterproductive to developing a mature tripod grasp. Maybe paper clips for the little kiddos, and clothespins for older kiddos who have a more developed thenar eminence.
