5 simple games to play at home with children with ASD

Games are not only entertaining, but also a great way to help your child develop communication, attention, fine motor skills, and emotional contact.
Here are some ideas that are easy to implement at home:
  1. “Colored treasures” — hide colorful objects around the room. Ask your child to find all the red, blue, or green ones. This trains their attention and teaches them to distinguish colors.
  2. “Repeat the movement” — show a simple movement (wave your hand, raise your palms, stamp your foot) and ask them to repeat it. This develops coordination and imitation skills.
  3. “Magic bag” — fill a bag with different objects (a ball, a spoon, a toy) and let your child guess what’s inside by touch. This stimulates sensory perception.
  4. “Soap bubbles” — catch and pop bubbles together! A fun game that helps focus attention and improves coordination.
  5. “Sorting objects” — arrange toys by color, shape, or size. This develops logical thinking and gives a sense of order.
All these games help your child better understand the world, themselves, and their surroundings, and most importantly, they create space for communication and joy.
