Activities

Improvisation
Improvisation lets learners get creative and play music on the Cosmoids. Each Cosmoid represents a different note, and learners can play along to their favourite songs by simply pressing the buttons. They can also choose between xylophone, guitar, and panpipe sounds.
Who’s it for
ASD, PMLD, SLD, MLD, EYFS
Skill Areas
Auditory perception/ Expressing preferences/ Auditory & Visual discrimination/ Joint attention/ Collaboration/ Visuo-motor control/ Spatial awareness/ Musical self-expression/ Improvisation

Showdown
Showdown is a fast-paced competitive activity for 2-6 players. One team has to find the green buttons and the other team has to find the orange buttons. See who can find the most of their colour before the time runs out.
Who’s it for
ASD, SLD, MLD, EYFS
Skill Areas
Cause & Effect/ Turn-taking/ Expressing preferences/ Gross and Visuo-motor control/ Spatial awareness

Orchestration
Orchestration lets your learners become conductors. They can build their own songs by adding drums, guitars, pianos, and many other instruments. Learners can play solo or as part of a group.

ASD, PMLD, SLD, EYFS
Skill Areas
Auditory perception/ Visual perception/ Expressing preferences/ Auditory discrimination/ Joint attention/ Collaboration/ Visuo-motor control/ Spatial awareness

Storytelling
Storytelling lets learners perform sensory stories by touching the Cosmoids. Each Cosmoid triggers part of a pre-selected sensory story and only lights up when it’s your turn to add to the story. Press it when it’s your turn, and let the story unfold. It’s an excellent activity for non-speaking and sensory learners.

Skill Areas
Sensory integration/ Sequencing/ Turn-taking/ Waiting/ Visuo-motor control/ Spatial awareness

My Voice
My Voice lets learners record their voices, or any sound they like, with the touch of a button. They can then transform the sounds they have recorded by touching the Cosmoids. It’s a great activity to encourage learners to use their voices and imaginations!
Who’s it for
ASD, PMLD, SLD, MLD, EYFS
Skill Areas
Cause & Effect/ Auditory discrimination/ Verbal communication/ Visuo-motor control/ Vocalisation/ Musical self-expression

Turn-Taking
Turn-Taking lets students work together to play their favourite songs and is perfect for developing turn-taking, waiting, and collaboration skills. Choose a theme and give a Cosmoid to each of your learners. Each Cosmoid triggers a part of the song and lights up to show whose turn it is. The longer you press, the longer the music plays.

Memory
Memory lets learners develop their problem solving and sequencing skills. Watch the light sequence on the Cosmoids, and if you can repeat it correctly, you get an exciting audio-visual reward. Start on the easy level and see how many sequences you can get right.

ASD, PMLD, SLD, MLD, EYFS
Skill Areas
Visual memory/ Sequencing/ Reaction to visual stimuli/ Problem-solving/ Turn-taking/ Visuo-motor control/ Speed of response

Exercise
Exercise is a fun, multi-sensory activity designed to get your learners moving. It’s designed to help develop coordination of movement, teamwork, orientation and attention. Place the Cosmoids around space and start the game.

Skill Areas
Cause & Effect/ Visual perception & discrimination/ Collaboration/ Speed of response/ Spatial awareness

All the same
All The Same is an exciting sequencing and problem-solving activity. Each time you press a Cosmoid, it changes colour, and you have to work as a team to make all of the Cosmoids the same colour. Start on the easy level and work your way up.
Who’s it for
ASD, SLD, MLD, EYFS
Skill Areas
Sequencing / Problem-solving / Joint Attention / Collaboration / Gross and Visuo-motor control / Reaction speed

Colour-Matching
Colour-Matching is an excellent activity for helping learners develop their colour vocabulary and shared attention skills. The aim is to find the Cosmoids that light up with the same colour as your partner’s and then press them together. Players get an audio-visual reward when they match the colours correctly.

Fireworks
Fireworks is a fun and interactive cause & effect activity that uses one Cosmoid. When a learner presses the button, they are rewarded with exciting fireworks on the screen. It’s a brilliant activity for developing intentional communication skills.
Who’s it for
ASD, PMLD, EYFS
Skill Areas
Cause & Effect / Intentional communication / Gross and visuo-motor control / Spatial awareness / Speed of response

Exploration
Exploration is a cause & effect activity that uses one Cosmoid. When a learner touches the Cosmoid that is lit up, the song they selected will play until they release the Cosmoid. If you enable the effects, you can change the texture of the sound by pressing harder.
