1 WATCHING ACTIVITIES RELATE, MOTIVATE, APPRECIATE 17
Activity 1. Sorting pictures There are many variations of this activity. The only things you need are: • two templates (an example can be found in Appendix B • a number of labels with different headings or categories • colourful printed pictures (from magazines or from the internet). The pictures can represent a number of things (e.g. related to the person’s previous occupation, their hobbies or interests, or images from favourite holidays). Preparation The templates from Appendix B may be used, or you can make your own. You may want to laminate these so they will last longer. Print out pictures; these can also be laminated to make them last longer if you think you might use them again. A5 size (half of an A4 sheet of paper) is an easy size to hold. The labels need to be related to the pictures; however, they can be broad categories to capture a number of pictures. Examples include: • different colours or just ‘light’ and ‘dark’ • brand names • male and female • ‘like’ and ‘dislike’ • different countries • different content (e.g. pictures of ‘land’ and ‘water’). The activity 1. Put the templates on the table in front of the person. 2. Choose two relatively easy category labels and place them on the top black rectangle. As an example, use ‘like’ and ‘dislike’. 3. Show the person the first picture; look at it together and, perhaps, discuss what is in the picture. 4. Ask the person if they like the picture (if they do not have a response, talk about the picture yourself). 5. Look at the labels together. Direct the person’s attention to the labels by pointing from their line of sight to the labels. 6. Encourage the person to point to or verbalise where the picture should go and put the picture on the template of the person’s choosing. 7. Look at the next picture. Now carefully hand this over to the person to hold. Continue as before. 18 RELATE, MOTIVATE, APPRECIATE
