Instructions For Using “Taking it to the Streets”
You may print the files directly from the Landing page or copy them to your hard drive and use them that way. The files are organized into 2 folders:
Daily Living Skills
Life Skills
Each activity can be combined with one or more others to make a “road trip” day. Thinking through and planning each day around similar themed activities or locations that are physically close to each other may prove to be an effective way to use the curriculum.
Also, you might want to do one activity per day, depending on how your time is organized. If you do one activity per week, you will have enough for six months of pavement-pounding exploration! If you do one activity every two weeks, it will be a year of street surfing adventure!
These activities were written specifically for activities or concepts that will be used to enhance life skills and create greater connections and relationships.
