Games! Games! Games! It is one of the reasons I love being an SLP. The tricky part is turning commercial games into therapy tools. My students love to play games, so what better way to motivate them to practice their speech targets. I love to use Pop Up Pirate, Jumpin Jack, Shark Bite, Pop the Pig, the Sneaky Snacky Squirrel, Yeti in my Spaghetti and Fishing games. One way you can use them is with articulation or language decks. The students practice their sounds or language target and then take a turn. Quick and easy. I have also started to use Game Companions that go along with each game. These game companions replace the dice or spinner that comes with the games. The spinners have targets that the students practice before they take turn. Shark Articulation and Language Game Companion For the games that do not use dice or spinners I use game mats that have articulation or language targets on them. When you remove game pieces from Fishing games or spaghetti from Yeti in my Spaghetti you place the game piece on the mat. There are targets on the mats that the students practice. These can also be used as Smash mats. Yeti Spaghetti Articulation and Language Game Companion I have created 2 Freebies that I wanted to share with you. I created free K sound spinners that I use with Jumpin Jack. The spinners can also be used by themselves as a game. Free Rabbit Game Companion for K sounds Another Freebie that I have created is for commercial Fishing games. It includes mats that target early apraxia syllables. There are mats for VC, CV, CVCV and CVC syllables. Free Apraxia Game Companions for Fishing Games Games are such a great motivators for our students. They are a great way to work with those mixed groups that always present a challenge in therapy. I hope these spinners and mats are helpful. Click here to follow my tpt store Speech Gems.

Hi speechies! Do you ever struggle when working with mixed groups? This camping activity is PERFECT for targeting multiple goals and for keeping your students engaged! I'm all about going big when it comes to themes. I think back to my days in elementary school and I have vivid memories of the days when my teachers made our lessons fit into a relatable theme. Those lessons stand out to me and I remember them. I want to do the same with my therapy sessions, because I think students will be more invested in working toward their goals if they are engaged in the activities. ENTER: THE CAMPING THEME! We have s'mores sequencing first. We practiced with felt s'mores and then made actual s'mores. The kids were so into it and so much language was elicited! Next up: The campfire narrative telling activity. I got this little 3D fire centerpiece from Amazon and we turned the lights out + turned on some flashlights. Then we took turns using the stick to pick up a card. The student would read the card and then the next student would have to continue the narrative. We went around the whole table, practicing beginning, middle, and end. It was a hit, and I loved hearing the students get creative! If you want to go camping in speech, you can grab the activities here!

These are great for mixed groups!! Teaching idioms in speech therapy while also working on speech sound articulation is such a great idea! Abstract and figurative language speech therapy goals are important for students in language therapy or ESL or ELL classes. These sound infused idiom exercises kill 2 birds with one stone ( little idiom fun there). This set has 70 different idioms mixed into sentences loaded with ARE words. Each of the exercise pages has 10 original sound infused idiom sentences as well as a matching section for students to use to help identify the meaning of the idiom. I encourage my students to highlight the words with their sounds in them and then read the sentences out loud while discussing each idiom and it's meaning. Students are also asked to match the idiom to the meaning.

Confession time...I'm a terrible singer. Like, turrible. But I don't let that stop me (Follow your dreams, people) from belting out my own little diddies and dance moves in my therapy sessions. Why?

School based SLPs are faced with the mixed group dilemna. How do you help students make progress on their goals when they all have different goals? One solution is using speech therapy games for mixed groups to help target a lot of goals at once.
I'm supervising a practicum student this semester and one things we constantly talk about is how to meet each student's needs within a group therapy session. I keep giving her my tips and tricks, but I also keep telling her that it's all in the planning, which you get better with the more you practice. One of the biggest planning headaches can be those dreaded mixed groups. Mixed groups are almost like a four letter word in the school SLP world. But when you have great materials to plan with, mixed groups really aren't bad at all!
