Hello! In the post below, you will find the exact order in which we used LanternFishESL cards to prepare our son for his first ever camping trip. To find out how we introduced and used the cards, please see my post, here. 🙂
As detailed in both of the above blog posts, and, my Instagram post, we are so grateful to have found LanternFishESL’s flashcards; an entirely free resource, with no strings attached. The many resources published by LanternfishESL are not only great for camping trips, but also fit a variety of individuals and educational purposes; especially on the topics of life skills and events!
***Please Note that the cards below were created for our Personal use and contain wording that fits my kiddos specific thought patterns; (feel free to customize any wording you use to your own kiddo’s and/or student’s needs). Also, please forgive my handwriting and any typos…..as mentioned, these cards were made in a hurry with the purpose of preparing NT for his first camping trip, and the notes are just meant for our personal, home use. 🙂
I did not include a written part on the backside of this card, but verbally noted that we should stand back while Dad is setting up/taking down the tent.
From here, I cycle back through the deck of cards, to explain what the following day will look like; this includes:
- Time to get up (crawl out of our sleeping bag, change), (Sleeping bag card, #12)
- Get out of the tent (might use the bathroom/outhouse), (Tent card, #13)
- Time to Eat, (Eating/Making Food card, #14)
- Taking Down the Tent, (Taking down the tent card, #15)
- Packing up all of our items into the car ( Going through each of the items from all remaining cards….backpack, first aid kit, sleeping bag, bug spray, (#16 = Final packing up))
Hope that you enjoyed seeing the order in which we arranged our camping event cards! Again, if you want to print your own free copies of these cards, visit LANTERNFISHESL!
