Sasha from TheAutismHelper.com shows a downloadable St. Patrick's Day Party Setup Kit with two versions: 4 or 5 activity stations. The kit includes a master guide, shopping list, and five activities like Leprechaun Riddles and Lucky Charms Charting, each with visual directions and adaptations for different verbal levels. Students rotate through stations on a visual schedule with an adult at each table.
Hi, this is Sasha from TheAutismHelper.com, and this is a product preview of my St. Patrick's Day Party Setup Kit. So when you download, there's 2 files included: a 4-station party and a 5-station party. This just depends on how many groups you want to put your students into and how many adults you have. So if you have enough adults for 5 groups, go ahead and do that one, or if you don't have as many adults or as many students, the 4-group one is great as well. So included in each setup kit are the instructions for how to use this all, a shopping list, and other materials. So the other materials are just common classroom items to make sure you're stocked up on. So these are the 5 stations included, and this gives a brief rundown, the name of the activity, a rough description of what you're doing, and then the materials needed. So this is great to kind of share with your staff the setup and have like a big overview of the whole party. The schedule and group lists show exactly which students are doing what at each time. This isn't kind of a go where you want, when you want situation. It's going to be a scheduled, organized event. Put students into 5 groups, have the times for each group, an adult at each station, and then students rotate amongst the 5 stations. So for rotating amongst the 5 stations, they will have a schedule that will guide that, and we're going to use a visual schedule just like we do in other parts of our day. So students can carry this with them, cross off each activity as they go, and they'll know exactly what's expected of them. For each center, there is a visual set of directions as well as the coordinating visual in the top corner. So this is a great thing to post or display at each table so students know where to go. Match the rainbow to the rainbow or the green ice cream to the green ice cream. It's gonna have some visual directions, a list of the materials needed, and a sample, um, photo sample if applicable. So again, going to show exactly what to do and what things you need as well. Station 3 has 2 different options depending on the verbal level of your students. You can use both and alternate between, or just pick one. So the first is Leprechaun Riddles. I really love these. These are super fun working on inferencing. And then level, um, station— another option for Station 3 is a Leprechaun Sort, so sorting some different options. And you would just cut and paste these to have it take a little longer as well. Uh, then Station 4 is Lucky Charms Charting. So here's the charting. Page for charting the Lucky Charms, and the last one is the dot-to-dot shamrock, one of my favorite crafts, so that's included in there as well with the stencil. So as you can see, there's 5 different centers included and all the systems for scheduling and grouping and all that, so you will have a low-stress and easy prep party.
