Self-Improvement: Work Habits PDF and Self-Improvement: Work Habits Jamboard sheets are perfect for occupational therapy sessions or even as a classroom management tool for all students.

Let’s Fill the Backpack!
Let’s Fill the Backpack is an interactive activity allowing students to move items into a backpack. This activity includes various items you would take to school on your first day. Ask the student to name the items on the screen as well as list additional items not shown to expand vocabulary. The clinician can also ask the student to group the items (to address categorization) or name items of a category having the student label the group. Have fun filling your backpack!
Jumping in the Leaves Activity
Jumping in the Leaves Game is an activity that is almost as fun as jumping in a pile of leaves! As you roll the die and move around the gameboard, generate sentences using specific adjectives. For older students, have them describe things specific to fall using the provided adjectives or generate your own. Most importantly, have fun!
