Coyle's Communication: Game

Showing posts with label Game. Show all posts

It has been way too long since I published a new Boom deck, but I released a new one this weekend. This one is almost 70 slides of phonological processes most commonly seen with the /sh/ sound target. You get 21 minimal pair contrasts in this deck!

For the phonological process of stopping /sh/ is contrasted with /t/ and /d/, and for fronting /sh/ is contrasted with /s/. There are seven minimal-pair picture sets for each of the three contrasts and four different activities with each set also.

First, bombard your client with /sh/ words with two auditory bombardment lists. Then, go over the seven minimal pairs in a card set that is fully audio-supported. Click the pictures to hear them talk. Then go play with the minimal pairs by putting them on a shelf. This is intended for open-ended play so that you can use it for receptive practice to see if the child can process the difference OR you can have the child say the pair of words as they put the pictures on the shelf to differentiate from the way they say the /sh/ and the target sound.

Level up the comprehension of the minimal pairs by moving the talking pictures into fill-in-the-blank sentences to really show that you understand the difference between the words. Finally, play a fun memory match game to practice the seven /sh/ target words in your chosen minimal pair set. The game pictures will change positions every time you load the boom deck which makes it playable over and over and each time it's a brand new game.

If your client misarticulates /sh/ due to a phonological processing disorder, this deck has you covered with tons of activities to meet all your needs!

I blogged about Super Spinners about a month ago. Since then, I have made more spinners and wanted to share them with you. Also since this is a website, it would be great to share/send to students if you need to do some "distance learning." If your school district is moving to online learning, you should be able to pull up spinners in whatever platform you are using (google classroom, zoom, etc) and get lots of speech/language practice. I am going to write another blog with a list of all of my online interactive suggestions with links as well so they are all in one place.

Name Items in a Category

Name a Category

Early Elementary Synonyms 1 (Possible answers starting from huge and going around clockwise: big, mad, bad, start, under, buy, pick, join, dirt)

Early Elementary Synonyms 2 (Possible answers starting from locate: find, easy, same, get, copy, smart, quiet, right, rich, save)

Later Elementary Synonyms (Answers starting from accomplish: achieve, answer, opposite, choose, gather, finish, danger, empty, guess, job)

Basic Antonyms

Antonym Spinner 1 (Answers starting from near: far, worst, old, thick, wide, smooth, less, last, right, hard or difficult)

Antonyms Spinner 2 (Answers starting from remember: forget, answer, ignore, west, odd, backward, least, bent, tight, whole)

Those are some examples of how to use the spinner for language therapy targets such as name a category/ items in a category and name synonyms or antonyms.

I showed you an /L/ spinner in my previous post. I still think the best way to make articulation spinners is to have your kids tell you the words and you type them OR with a wireless keyboard- let the kids type the words and make their own spinners. This gets them saying target sounds without them even realizing for one practice time. Then as you spin the wheel and students say the word they land on, make a sentence with the word, spin it twice and make a sentence with both words, they practice it more. Customizing the spinners are super easy.

Anyway, I think that is the best way to use the spinner for speech therapy, but I will share a few my kids have made as well.

Beginning R

Vocalic R (air, ear, ire, or, ar)

/er/ Words

/L/ all positions

/S/ all positions (Example of a sentence when you spin twice: Her room was messy because she had socks all over the floor.)

/TH/ all positions

I hope you have fun Speech Spinnin'!

Super Teacher Tools has a variety of online interactive tools available to use. I am highlighting the spinner today: Super Speech Spinner Activities http://www.superteachertools.us/spinner/.

In the above picture, I made a /l/ all positions spinner: https://tinyurl.com/yxr3v6fj I had my students tell me words to put on the spinner (thus practising their target words once). Then they took turns spinning and making a sentence with the word they spun. Then we did a round where they spun twice and had to incorporate two words into the sentence they made. Pretty simple, but my kids enjoyed the activity and I can visualize using it in a variety of ways for both speech and language targets for older students that are reading (2nd -5th grade).

Alternatively, if you just need a traditional spinner for a game, you can definitely use this online interactive one for that as well.

I hope this activates your creative juices and helps you make a fun interactive activity with your speech and language kiddos.

I have been using Match the Memory to add interactive fun to my speech therapy sessions since 2015. I use an iPad or the grid that is a feature in match the memory. The thumbtack makes the pictures stay open until you click them to turn them back over so you have time to have your speech student practice saying their sounds correctly. The grid button on the far right turns on the A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 grid so that if you are projecting the game to a group the students can tell you the cards to flip by choosing the letter and the number to indicate where the row/column the card they want to flip is located.
