Information

A: Just create one-sided flash cards (homemade or using
your computer). Put the equation, question or problem on
one card and the answer/solution on another. Then, take all
of the equation/question/problem cards and place them in
the top sleeves. After, take all of the solution cards and
insert them into the bottom sleeves. Your child can then Flip
'n Pick the correct combinations!

If your child is old enough, have them make the flash cards
themselves. If not, be certain to have your child help you
make them. Involving them offers extra practice and gives
them a sense of ownership if they've directly participated in
the process.

A: Create one-sided flash cards with any subject matter
that applies to your patients. For example, make up flash
cards that have pictures of people exhibiting a particular
emotion on one side. On one side of separate flash cards,
have the appropriate emotional or social response written
out. Here is a sample you are welcome to use as is or as a
template to create customized cards: Emotions

You'll notice that Flip 'nsleeves are double sided. The
second portion is the perfect place to insert rewards,
notes (i.e.: 'Parent, please work on this flash card with
Mary.'), coupons, reminders, related homework,
suggested reading, etc.

Die-cuts make great incentive tickets to slip into the
sleeves. Use the rewards like money which a child can
cash in for rewards. Here is a recommended site which
sells die-cuts: http://www.mycmsite.com/wendynov

A: Ah, yes! A subject near and dear. All those delicious
recipes we're conviced we'll use some day... Simply make
broad catagories. For example, Appetizers, Cocktails, Soups,
Salads, Sandwiches, Main Dishes, Sides Dishes, Desserts,
After Dinner Drinks. Then toss the recipe that coincides with
the category into that pile. Don't waste your time
alphabetizing, micro-managing or sorting them any further.
That's the great thing about Flip 'n Pick...it doesn't matter
the order! No more "chicken", "pork", "beef" (then "ground
beef", "steak", "roast"...etc.)! If it's a main dish, it doesn't
matter what form it's in or what's in it! Just put it in the
main dish pile - it's that simple!
Once you've got your piles, put the recipes into the Flip
'nsleeves making certain to keep them in the categories
you've established. Now take the recipes and place them into
the Flip 'n Pick. Place one category in the top set of rings and
another category into the bottom set. For example, put all
your main dish recipes in the top set of (continued...)

What if you have hundreds of main dishes? All of them don't
have to go into your Flip 'n Pick at the same time. Treat
them like a deck of cards, keeping extra 'decks' in reserve.
From time to time, shuffle decks with each other, swapping
out used recipes with un-used recipes. Now you have new
combinations and all you had to do was mix the cards up a
bit! With Flip 'n Pick, the possibilities are almost endless!!!
