Red Stoplight Personal Space Game

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Red Stoplight Personal Space Game lesson plan also includes:

  • Join to access all included materials

I really like this activity. Learners with special needs play a stoplight game to practice giving and responding to the need for personal space. Each child is given a green light and red light card, when you say, "Go" they walk around the room, when a peer gets too close, pupils put up their red-light card. A great activity for non-verbal or autistic children learning about their own personal space.
