GOAL:    JS will demonstrate comprehension of spatial prepositional words in a context of sentences over 80% of trials by using audition alone.  (behind, next to, in front of, besides, on the right side, on the left side, etc.)  This will be advanced to 2 prepositional words when appropriate.

Activity 4:  Clinician and client will play Dave Sindrey’s Bumpy Bus’ “Who’s Away Today?”  Client and clinician will take turns describing where the children on their own game card are sitting.  When done describing, there should be one child left that is not on the bus.  Clinician and client will turn over the answer card to see “who’s away today.”

Sample sentences:

The blond boy with the freckles is sitting behind the girl with the ponytail. (1 preposition)

The girl with the pigtails is in front of the girl with the ponytail.

The boy with the cap is next to the seat behind the bus driver. (2 prepositions)

The orange-haired boy is in the last seat on the right.

Materials:  Bus, game cards.
