Where is my water? is a game for the iPad in which a crocodile needs water to bathe. The user can dig through the mud in various ways to allow the water to flow to the bath tub.Time for activity: 20 minutes.

Targets:

1. Sequencing: The student will verbally plan the steps needed to achieve the goal prior to acting out the plan. As each level gets harder and more complex, the student’s sequencing and planning skills will increase in complexity.

2. Predicting: The therapist will discuss possible scenarios and ask the student: “What do you think it would happen if we dug the mud all the way to the left?”

3. Following directions: The SLP will give directions to the student with increasing level of complexity:

! Example: “ First dig to reach the first duck, then skip the second duck and make the water accumulate before it reaches the crocodile”.

4. Story re-telling: The SLP and student will take turns completing the levels and student must re-tell how each person achieved the target.

Homework: A screenshot of a level can be sent home as a “written” homework or as a level for child and parent to “plan” together and student can put the plan into action the next session.
