TO ASSEMBLE: Print and tape together the “Sequence Mat”

= Total of 3 sheets of paper taped together to make a poster.

Hang “Sequence Mat” at eye level for the student to see.

Print, Laminate and tape “Shapes Jumping Spots” in an array around the student on the floor a few feet from the poster.

TO PLAY: 1. Student will visually scan the “Sequence Mat” poster left to right and top to

bottom. 2. As student scans on each apple, he/she will jump on that corresponding

"Shapes Jumping Spot” that is on the floor.

3. Student is to keep their body facing forward at all times with eyes facing the “Sequence Mat” poster.

4. Student will be jumping forward, sideways, and backward onto the “Shapes Jumping Spots”.

5. PT can assist the student by using a pointer along the “Sequence Mat” to guide the student.

6. Next, encourage the student to visually scan independently. 7. Work toward “chunking” the shape jumps. For example, student will scan 2-

3 shapes, recall that information and jump without long pauses.

**Suggestion- Use a metronome (app) to time the jumps working to increase accuracy with increasing speed.
