What does therapy look like when you’re working on interoception? 👀

Today, we transformed the sensory gym into an Interoception Treasure Hunt! 🔍🌈

First, we climbed, swung, explored and searched for hidden “interoception mysteries” around the gym. The movement activities provided lots of vestibular and deep pressure sensory input to support regulation.

Next, we checked in using the Battery Analogy 🔋 and worked together to solve the body signal riddles.

The best part? Our client decided to create their own mysteries for OT to solve! They hid clues throughout the sensory gym and had the OT searching, thinking and problem-solving right alongside them.

We finished the session with a game and lots of laughs. 🎲

Interoception is our ability to notice and make sense of the signals coming from inside our bodies. These skills form an important foundation for emotional awareness, self-regulation, self-care, and understanding our own needs.

And as always, some of the best learning happens through play 💕

🎲 Favourite Therapy Game: UNO ❤️💛💚💙

You can never go wrong with a classic game of UNO! It’s one of our most-used therapy games because it’s simple, engaging, highly adaptable, and works across such a wide range of ages and goals.

While kids usually just think they’re having fun trying to avoid picking up extra cards 😅, UNO actually supports so many important therapy skills including:

✨ Turn-taking
✨ Winning & losing
✨ Flexible thinking
✨ Emotional regulation
✨ Attention and concentration
✨ Visual scanning and matching
✨ Impulse control and waiting
✨ Problem-solving and strategy
✨ Communication and social interaction

UNO is also fantastic for supporting executive functioning skills. Children need to monitor the game, plan ahead, shift strategies when the game changes unexpectedly, and inhibit impulsive reactions when someone drops a sneaky Draw 4 card 👀

We also love modifying UNO depending on the child’s goals:
❤️ Playing cooperatively as a team
💛 Removing special cards to simplify the game
💚 Adding movement, conversation, or regulation prompts to cards
💙 Encouraging children to explain their thinking and strategy

Games like UNO create so many opportunities to practise emotional regulation, flexible thinking, and connection through play 💕

So much learning can happen through play 💛

In this session, we explored interoception — noticing and making sense of the signals coming from inside our body.

Through movement, play and the Power Pack, we worked on:
✨ noticing body signals and changes in energy
✨ connecting emotions with how our body feels
✨ finding movement that helps the body feel regulated
✨ planning and problem-solving through obstacle courses
✨ sneaking in some handwriting and drawing along the way!

Interoception isn’t just about being able to name a body signal. It’s about helping children build an understanding of their own body, emotions and what they might need.

And sometimes the best place to learn that is while moving, playing and having fun. 🌱

🧱 Favourite Therapy Game: Buildzi ✨

One of our current team favourites is Buildzi! We love this game because it’s quick, engaging, and incredibly adaptable depending on each child’s goals and interests.

Children are always amazed by how the blocks balance and stack in unexpected ways, which naturally motivates engagement, problem-solving, and persistence 👀

Therapeutically, Buildzi supports:
✨ Attention and concentration
✨ Turn-taking
✨ Cooperative play and teamwork
✨ Executive functioning skills
✨ Problem-solving
✨ Visual perception
✨ Fine motor skills
✨ Frustration tolerance and persistence

One of the things we love most about Buildzi is how flexible it is. Depending on the child, we might:
🧱 Play collaboratively and work together towards a shared goal
🧱 Add a winning/losing element for children working on emotional regulation and sportsmanship
🧱 Introduce a timer for children who are ready for an extra challenge and want to build processing speed and flexible thinking

Games like Buildzi are such a fun way to build confidence, connection, and problem-solving skills through play 💕
