Tips for eliciting /k/ and /g/ in speech therapy and activities for generalization.
Happy Tuesday and welcome to Day #2 of Articulation Week! I wanted to share my new favorite activity for speech therapy.... Articulation Game Show! Who doesn't love a good game show? Articulation Game Show is a 12 page activity that targets the later developing "sh" "ch" "th" /s/ and /r/ sounds. Each sound has a point value page and a corresponding question page. I like to put the point value page inside of a page protector and use a dry erase marker to mark off the categories as they are used. The question page is filled with 20 questions or prompts with answers that contain the target sound. Here are a few examples from the "S Jeopardy" page: Fill In The Blank: My new shirt was only $7. It was on _____. (sale) Rhyming: Name a word that rhymes with dress. Make a Sentence For the Word: outside What Am I? I am a big house. The king and queen live here. (castle) Mystery Square: Which would you rather have and why? Ice Cream or Popsicle This activity is for sale in my TpT store here Try to win a copy below! a Rafflecopter giveaway

However, school-age children whose speech difficulties persist beyond 5 years of age are most at risk for associated difficulties in reading, spelling and sometimes math. Let us first consider the nature of […]

Today we had fun using the game Headbanz along with the Expanding Expression Tool (EET) for describing. Normally, the game Headbanz has students asking about what is on their head. They are supposed to ask questions that will guide them into figuring out what item is on their head band. My students and I had an idea today to use Headbanz with the EET. We decided that instead of asking questions, we would have to describe what is on other people's heads using the EET. We also decided that you would "win" the card if the person guessed what item was on your head. I got some great descriptions from students using this game and the EET. They all tried to guess the items after just a few beads, but I made them describe using the entire string. I got a lot of "oooh, oooh, oooh, I know it, I know it!" But, I made them wait so that the other student got practice with describing. My students especially like when I play the game with them. I may get a few looks from passersby, but it is so fun. I love to get a grin from someone passing by my room, and the great laughs from my students when I look like this: You can check out the game Headbanz here (this is an Amazon Affiliate link):
