INSTRUCTIONS

Ask the person holding the ball to roll to either hand it or roll it to you.

Do this until it’s just too easy.

DIALOG HELP

Say to your family, “We are going to either roll or hand the ball. We need to listen to what the person is saying to us, so we know which one to do.”

“Let’s hear how to say these phrases in Romanian again. We will repeat after she talks. First is to hand the ball.”

Listen to the phrase and repeat after she talks.

“Next is to roll the ball.”

Listen to the phrase and repeat after she talks.

“Choose to say either, ‘Dă-mi mingea,’ or ‘Pasează mingea,’ and I will roll or hand the ball to you.”

Start rolling and handing the ball. When someone forgets how to say a phrase, say, “Let’s play the phrase again. It’s okay to listen to it as many times as you want. There is no such thing as cheating here.”

When this becomes just so easy, go to the next step.
