Speech Room News hosted a linky party last Friday. The topic: Games I like!
So I thought I'd share some of my favorite games I like to use in speech therapy.
Note: All pictures are courtesy of Amazon.com
Here we go!
1. Guesstures: who doesn't love this game? A fun charades game where my students read the word and act it out for fellow peers to guess. I love this game b/c I wan't to see if my students have effective gestural language. We are also focused on language but many of our language delayed kiddos struggle with nonverbal language as well so I like this game for that. Also gives me insight into problem solving and reasoning skills when the students are guessing.

3. Mad Gad: is SO MUCH FUN and great for older kids as well. Perfect if working on encoding, auditory processing (what word/phrase does it sound like?) or just as a reinforcement game for various goals!!!

4. Uno Moo: So much fun for the younger kiddos...perfect to work on color ID, animal ID, animal/sound match up, same, vs. different, problem solving and reasoning...and how fun is it to push our neighbors animal into the barn? So much fun!!!!

5. Hungry Hungry Hippos: Who doesn't LOVE Hungry Hungry Hippos???? So much fun! I like to make my kiddos do as many repetitions or stimulus cards as the number of balls the winning hippo ate. Keeps it fun and exciting! Be warned: this game is super loud when 4 kids are playing it...but then again...who really cares b/c it so much FUN!!! :)
Oh I have so many more games I love and actually have some game reviews written and ready to go. They will be coming out in about a month or so for the beginning of the school year so you can decide which games you'd love to have in your therapy room. In the meantime, these are the 5 I picked (and that was such a difficulty choice!) I hope you have been following this linky b/c it's been super fun to see what other SLPs use in there therapy rooms!
If you had to pick 5 favorites for speech therapy...what would they be???? Comment below!!!!
Enjoy and happy talking and playing!!!
