I am looking for advice for what kind of games like board games to play with my 9 yr old that is on the spectrum. Can some one help me please. And he is very unlimited verbal very little. So what can be done game wise.
These are all favorites in our house and get used during ABA for building language, turn-taking, focusing on tasks, and interacting with others.
-Pop the Pig
-Pop the Pirate
-Candyland
-Operation
-Zingo!
-Memory
-Hungry Hungry Hippos
-Yeti in My Spaghetti
-Trouble
I just want to say I appreciate everyone's answers because they all are so useful. And I have forgotten some of the games thanks everybody
Candyland has been a hit at my house, my 13 yr old even loves playing it with me and his brothers. I try to model turn taking and being a good sport with it. The twins would get really upset if me or their older brother was winning and they have got past that but they do have a tantrum when they don't win still but we keep on playing and hopefully they'll get past that hurdle next. I love that game "Don't break the ice" but my twins definitely don't have the attention span for it
Checkers, tic tac toe....fingerpainting, then with a brush. Dice games. Eventually, chess and backgammon ..
HISS, checkers, chess?
