Sensory Support Service João Roe Website Elmfield House, Greystoke Avenue Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol BS10 6AY Head of Sensory Support Service www.sensorysupportservice.org.uk www.bristol.gov.uk Here are some ideas of games / activities to promote learning of braille These ideas are in particular order, they are just suggestions to share with others. Teachers of children with VI (QTVIs) develop programmes of work based on their assessments of the child and would be able to decide / adapt games and other activities to make braille learning fun and motivating. Tracking along textured lines You can use Velcro at the end of a line to attach different objects so that even if the child is tracking along the same line they can get a new reward at the end. Pirate Game Get treasure coins by reading the words on each coin. How many coins are you going to get? Also played with a friend by having some coins with print words and taking turns.
