Description of how the game can be used to fit the categories: The rhyming dominoes are a fun way for players to practice reading and rhyming skills along with vocabulary development. When playing this game, the players must read the words on the dominoes and then figure out what words rhyme to match them up. This practices vocabulary recognition and reading. Visual scanning can be practiced by playing this game if the player spreads out all of the dominoes in their environment and then scans all of the dominoes for the word that rhymes with the domino they select. Social skills can be developed by playing this game by helping the player learn new vocabulary that they can use to express themselves. Social skills can also be practiced by asking the player to find a specific word and having them find and say a word that rhymes with it. Eye/Hand coordination is practiced by playing this game when the player looks at the dominoes they have and finds and picks up the rhyming domino to place beside it.
