TME Tuesday - On A Roll Game
Today's TME is a lyric game. There isn't much to it, but there is lots of fun to be had during the experience, especially if you have a group that likes to sing or loves music lyrics.

Materials:
Ball; OPTIONAL: lyric sheets or songbooks
Environment:
Group members arranged in a circle, sitting on the floor

R = Reinforcement opportunities; C = Redirection/Cue opportunities; A =
Assessment
- Start game by stating that we cannot repeat song lyrics – each group member has to come up with a new lyric to offer.
- Roll ball to group member.
- A – wait for group member to say part of a song.
- C – if client is unable to name a song lyric, provide cues such as, “what are the words?”
- R – reinforce correct responses
- Repeat until clients show signs/symptoms of boredom (e.g., giggling, staring off into space, repeating things said by others, etc.), or until time runs out
Therapeutic
Function of Music: In this case, music has an auxiliary role in that the
music itself is not the end goal, it is just the method used to increase
nonmusical goals.
Adaptations:
- Use song names, performer names, different types of music, etc.
- Write or provide song books or lyric sheets for group members to browse through to find song lyrics for the game
Extensions:
- Start a familiar song – next person has to continue the song lyrics. Each person builds on the song until the song is ended
- Use familiar songs, but each group member only adds one word to the song. Continue until the song is complete.
