Tell a Joke Connect 3 Talking Brix. Record the 1st button to say, "Knock, knock!"; the 2nd to say, "Abby"; and the 3rd to say, "Abby New Year!!" (or any other joke, if you can possibly come up with a better one :) ) This teaches students to press a sequence of steps and motivates them to use a voice output communication device. | All Done! Record a Talking Brix with the message, "All done!" Allow a student to press it to communicate when they are done in the bathroom or with a project or eating. You could keep that button in a location near the activity so it is always accessible to the student or for staff to grab to place near the student. | Phonemic Awareness Work on phonemes by programming one button to say, "-un" and other buttons with letter sounds to create a word, such as F, S, B, P, or R. Stick the Talking Brix on the magnetic white board and allow students to arrange them to create words. This will allow students who are not able to voice the phonemes to learn how they work to form words. |
