I met with Kevin at Apalachee elementary again today, and we had a really good session! I stole the bingo idea from Taylor and Stephanie (thanks guys!), and it went really well! I basically had created my own powerpoint, similar to what they had shown us, with some minimal pairs and included pictures with each. I also printed out two blank bingo sheets so that we could both play together. At the begining of our session, I tried to explain to him what we were going to be doing. I told him that we would first work on some vocabulary words that sound very similar, but that have different meanings, and then once he feels comfortable with that vocabulary, we would play a fun game using those words. I don't think he completely understood what I was saying, but he went along with it nonetheless. I pulled up the powerpoint and spent about 2 minutes on each slide, just reading the words to him over and over agian, pointing to which one I was pronouncing. Once I repeated them many times, I would stop pointing, and I would just say one of the words and ask him to point to which word I was saying. I did this several times for each word on each slide. If he pointed to the right word each time, then we would move onto the next slide with the next set of words. If he pointed to the wrong word, I would stay on the same set of words and just repeat them out loud over and over agian, pointing to each word as I said it, until he could correctly identify which word I was saying. Once we got through all of the word pairs, I gave him a bingo card and told him to write out each word in one of the spaces. I filled out a card as well, and then I pulled out little slips of paper that I had each word written on. I would randomly draw a word from the pile, and say it out loud (not letting him see the written word) and we would both mark it off on our bingo sheet. The fun part, though, was that I had us use coins as the bingo chips. I brought a big bag of change with me, including quarters, nickles, pennies, and dimes, and we used these coins as chips to mark off the words on our card. If he got BINGO, I would double check that the words he marked off were the actual words I had called, and if in fact they were, then he was allowed to keep the 5 coins that he had put over those spaces. He really really enjoyed this, and was so excited that I let him actually keep the money. He left with probably over $2 in change (maybe I shouldn't have brought so many quarters), and a big smile on his face. I was really happy that he finally seemed to have a fun time and enjoy our session. I think I might just do the same thing with him again next week, using different words and maybe some candy instead of money.
