The scenarios foster problem solving and brainstorming for possible solutions for each difficult communication situation.When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade - While the theme is lemons the scenarios are common listening situations where problems may occur due to the setting, the listener or the person talking.A scaffolding strategy, I find successful when introducing self-advocacy begins with an experiential language activity of making homemade lemonade.

...
summer vocabulary. For each secret object, the child is categorizing and analyzing information, making inferences, and drawing conclusions.The goal is to make logical guesses and identify all 15 secret objects by listening to the four clues presented one by one through hearing alone. Each of the clues is read aloud by the adult. The clues get increasingly more specific. The game fosters two-way conversation and critical thinking skills.A cue to listen slide is included between each Secret Object. The child listens and the adult reads the clues. Talking about an object before showing it provides ear contact before eye contact, which is critical to growing a child’s brain for auditory skills.Once the secret object is revealed the next activity is for the child to remember and use each of the clues to clearly describe the object in connected speech. Thereby stretching their auditory memory, building vocabulary, and descriptive language skills.★ This is a SUMMER version of a best-selling larger resource - Guess the Secret ObjectWhat's included:44-page resourceDigital Version: The game can be played on a computer, iPad, or teletherapy platforms using PDF reader apps.
