Lucky 12 is a game we invented to help introduce and remind Josie about different rules in various social situations. Basically, we take twelve index cards and write six of them with an appropriate behavior and six with the opposite. I try to make the opposites funny and obviously wrong because Josie has a great sense of humor.
We did this last night before her birthday party. One card said, "Wait patiently for present opening time and don't mention it until after everyone has had dinner." The opposite says "Whine and cry and say 'Give me presents right now.'"
Josie goes through each card and says whether it's a good idea or a bad idea. If it's a bad idea, she thinks of a better one. For a reward, we use a blank chart, and Josie gets to draw a picture in each square. We are lucky that she likes this so much! I think stickers in a chart would work great or any other small reward.
Other versions have included Visiting Someone's House, Playing with Younger Kids, Going to a Performance. You get the idea I'm sure!
