Don't break the ice articulation


Don't Break the Ice - Articulation

Luckily I saved a bunch of picture icons from a project that I have been working on, so I was able to put this together in a few minutes. 

Materials:
- Don't Break the Ice
- 32 picture icons - target words
- double sided tape (to stick the icon on the ice cube)


Players will be taking turns knocking one ice cube out of the board at a time. Then practice the word that is on the fallen ice cube(s). While knocking down the surrounding ice-cubes, players have to keep the snakes from falling. I've replaced the ice-skating polar bear with four snakes (for the Chinese New Year theme). When the game is over, scramble up the cubes or replace the cards and you are ready for the second round! This activity is inexpensive and easy to setup.

Help to collect acorns with Acorn Articulation

I created another version of the Articulation Candy Box that is not part of the Halloween theme.     The setup is slightly different than candy box but the directions are similar.  

Targets/s/ blends, /th/ voiced and voiceless, /r/, /sh/, /l/, /ch/
single syllable to multi syllables
initial-medial-final positions
  There are two different ways to play this game.   
Option 1:  students will take turn to select a card from the box then put it in their jar.
 
 Option 2: students will take turn to select a card from the box then put it on the squirrel handout.
Watch out of the Bonus and Steal cards! Student can earn one more turn or lose a turn if they picked one of these cards. (optional) 
At the end, student with the most acorn wins.
You can pick this game up at my TpT store.



Articulation Game - Halloween Candies

Lately I have been obsessed with purchasing graphics from scrappin doodle because it save me a lot of time to create my own with the Bamboo tablet I got a few month ago. To go with the Halloween theme, I created another articulation game!    Inspired by playing with words 365.

Targets/s/ blends, /th/ voiced and voiceless, /r/, /sh/, /l/, /ch/
single syllable to multi syllables
initial-medial-final positions

 There are two different ways to play this game.   
Option 1:  students will take turn to select a card from the box then feed it to their pumpkin.
 Option 2: students will take turn to select a card from the box then put it on the pumpkin handout.
Watch out of the Trick or Treat cards! Student can earn one more turn or lose a turn if they picked one of these cards. (optional)
At the end, student with the most candy wins.

Guess Who Articulation

How many ways can you adapt the Guess Who game?  Here is my way to adapt this commonly used therapy game to target articulation.  I used Custom Boards and Boardmaker to make the insert cards.  Hope you like it.
Materials:   
  • 2 guess who game boards
  • Print 3 copies of the target sound. One copy for each game board and one as the draw deck)  
 Directions to play:
  1. Each player draw 5 cards from the deck.
  2. Students will take turns to ask each other questions.  (example: "Is it a cat?")  
  3. The youngest player get to go first.
  4. The first person to guess all 5 cards is the winner! (players may use the counter on the board to keep track of their guesses)  
Grab yours here:  Guess Who Articulation           
The following are included in the game sets:
/b/, /d/, /f/, /g/, /k/, /l/, /m/, /s/, /sh/, s blends



 Cards are compatible with the 1998 version of Guess Who.
