Word Games
The challenge
Haim wants to communicate with his grandchildren like any other grandfather- but since he can only speak through a communication board and say a few short words, he is interested in finding a different way for him to communicate with them.
Who it helps
Haim loves to read and to play with his grandchildren
How it works
The purpose of this game is to give the children the option to express themselves next to their grandfather, and at the same time to give Haim the possibility to be an active player in the game, without needing to speak.
Creating a game where the children can understand different situations by simple pictures, creating an environment where they can talk about themselves - how are they feeling, how was their day in school, and so on.
Tools needed
