Follow game rules at an adult social club
When to use this goal
For transition students who go to community game nights, social clubs, or adult day programs where card and board games are a main activity, and who skip turns or change rules. Present levels decide fit. Age-matched games (card games, dominoes, bingo, trivia) with adults.
- Baseline
- Observe 5 games across 2 or 3 sessions and record whether each was played through by the rules. Note which rule caused trouble.
- Tips
- Each game is one opportunity. House rules agreed by the group count as the rules. Choose community clubs that welcome new players.
- Limits
- Game difficulty varies; keep a stable set while measuring. Social conversation during games is a separate skill.
