🌟 The Story Behind the Just Right! Extension Activities & Games
After teaching the Just Right! A Sensory Modulation Curriculum for K–5, I noticed something:
Students could answer my questions about body speeds and tools… but they weren’t always using the strategies functionally in their daily routines. Just like so many things kids learn in school, it “stuck” in the lesson but didn’t always transfer into real life.
As a huge believer in the power of games, I thought: “What if I create fun extension games so kids keep practicing, playing, and truly owning the Just Right! concepts?”
So I did. 🎉
I played these games with my own students — in small groups, individual OT sessions, and even full classrooms. After finishing a 16-week Just Right curriculum with one classroom, I was still scheduled to go in. The lessons were “done,” but I didn’t want the learning to stop. That’s when these games were born.
And the kids LOVED them! 🙌
I have videos and photos of students laughing, moving, and learning while reinforcing everything from body speeds to strategy selection. That classroom energy (and the carryover I saw in students’ regulation) told me this wasn’t just an “extra” — it was exactly what they needed.
That’s why I put these activities into a ready-to-use packet: so other teachers, OTs, and parents can keep the Just Right learning alive long after the core lessons are over.
