Practicing executive function can be fun with this Task Initiation Executive Function Game. Includes scenarios, ideas for strategies, and practice executive functioning skills! Play as a game with the included game board and question cards about task initiation.
How we target Task Initiation looks like: Create a schedule, stick to a schedule and modify as needed, estimate how much time it will take, manage time limits, break down long-term tasks.
Objective: Students will learn about and practice time management as an executive functioning skill through a hands-on game.

Can be used with students across upper elementary, middle, and early high school. Students who read, have skills at or close to grade-level, and need some executive functioning support and practice.
