Pictures and Clipart

• Many wonder where they can find "pictures" on the Internet that can be used to make their own therapy materials. One way is to use the Image Search function on various search engines. Although many are copyrighted and should not be used to add graphics to commercial products or to web pages without permission, they can be used for personal teaching purposes.
• Develop activities with clip art, such as taping pictures around the room to find with a flashlight, paste on "fish," or on bugs and use a fly swatter.
  • Bug and fish template examples
    • bug (www.dltk-kids.com/t/insects/bug5.htm)
    • bug (http://motivate.maths.org/conferences/conf20/images/bug.gif)
    • fish (www.eslkidstuff.com/images/fish.gif)
    • fish from Kinder Printables Shape Flashcards (www.kinderprintables.com/shapebooks.htm)
• Hyperstudio, PowerPoint, and most word processing programs have clipart files. There is also clipart software that you can purchase. However, there are also many sites on the internet that have a lot of pictures that could be adapted for therapy materials if you want to download some of the free gifs/jpegs and print it out. The Tutorial on how to download clipart (http://webclipart.about.com/od/tutorialshelp/l/blhelp7.htm). is helpful if you don't know how to do this. Adding graphics to a word document (in the newer word programs) is as easy as word processing. Some sites to check out:

Begun by Peter Yarrow from folk singers, Peter, Paul, and Mary, DLAM consists of three curricula (grades 2-5, grades 6-8, and one for summer camps and after-school programs). These resources contain wonderful ideas for helping classroom teachers or school clinicians reduce bullying of children. The entire curriculum (ranging from 50-100 pages) and all the materials, including songs and videos are freely available online or can be ordered. This resource belongs in every school.
