Hello SLD Forumers! Here is another disgusting resource for you for in time for the festive season. It is a stomach churning Sensory poem about a poor Reindeer called Norbert who has a permanently runny nose. This is a great sensory swith-based story told along the lines of the Christmas Carol Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Norberts cousin!).

So, let the snot run freely and download the stuff (2.7MB) by clicking the picture of Norbert below.

STUFF YOU NEED: First off, you need a sense of humour (but you've already got one of those or you wouldn't be a teacher, right?), next you need either PowerPoint XP or PowerPoint viewer which you can get free from here.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TELLING THE STORY!

When telling the story you should start by getting the students comfy then say the first student's name before reading the first line, then have your willing and evil assistant to perform each sensory stimulation. Say the next student's name, repeat the line and have your henchman/henchlady perform the dastardly deed on them and so on. This heightens the anticipation and structures the session nicely. Sorry to patronise people, but I have seen sensory stories done badly and it's a waste! Most of all, have fun with it.
