 Hello and welcome to Rehab at Home from Adele. In this series, we will show you some simple activities you can do at home to help your child with their listening and speaking. In today's video, Jessica's mum will demonstrate how to add language about thoughts and feelings while playing a board game. Children with hearing loss may not overhear conversations as well as children with typical hearing. So it is important that we add this type of enriched language to meaningful situations as often as possible. Let's see how Jessica's mum does it. We're going to play a game that's in this folder. It's a little bit like Snakes and Ladders. So we're going to need to choose a counter for each person. Yep, they're in that little box, aren't they? Now, can you see we've got different... Wait, wait, wait. Got different colours there. What colours have we got? Um, green, blue, yellow and red. Right, OK. So what colour do you think you'd like to be? Red. You'd like to be red. Is that your favourite? Yeah. So what about me? Do I get to choose a colour? Mm-hmm. So I think my colour, I think I'd like to choose to be yellow. Who do you think should go first? Why do you think you should go first? Because I'm the youngest. You're the youngest. How else could we decide who goes first? Maybe it could be the oldest. Or maybe we could roll the dice to see who gets the biggest number and maybe they could go first. Oh! OK. Should we get the board ready? Should we get the game ready? OK. So roll the dice and see if you've got the biggest number. I've got four. OK, and let's see what I can get. Two. So who goes first, then? Me. When playing games at home, talk to your child about the rules of the game, who will play and add mental state terms such as hope, prefer and guess. Adding these concepts helps your child to develop their language, theory of mind and social skills. You can download this game right now on the blog, but of course you can use these techniques with any card or board games you already have at home.
