Play intervention is a great way to enter the world of children and to be engaged in what interests them. Studies have proven that play intervention greatly enhances the communication in children with autism. The following are simple play activities that we often forget about that could be used to interact with children:
*Chase: "I'm gonna get you!"
*Get bubbles, balloons, etc...
*Ball play (rolling back and forth)
*Pretend Play
*Song play/games (wheels on the bus, old McDonald Had a Farm)
*Ready, Set, Go!
*Real Hide and Seek
*Duck Duck Goose
* Reading books (but not reading every word, explain what is happening)
*Drawing faces
*Hot Potatoe
*Treasure Hunt games
*Board Games (Candy Land, Bingo, Memory, Go Fish)
*Complex Pretend Play (Making up stories about animals, dolls, etc.)
