I work with a large population of middle/high school students and believe me, they love games just as much as the little kids do–maybe even more! I don’t make a habit of using games on a daily basis, but sometimes it can be challenging to motivate and engage an older student, and using games in therapy definitely helps get the job done. I make sure the game has a PURPOSE and focuses on the GOALS we are targeting. SLPs are so great at making a challenging task appear fun by disguising it in a game format! There are so many great games that target so many language goals so I know I am providing my students with a meaningful experience when we use games in our sessions! Sometimes we play by the game rules, but most of the time, I customize the game to the needs of my students and usually go “off script!” And here’s a way to get your older students to take the lead—give them the game and ask them to figure out the rules —you can give them the game rules booklet to read on their own or just give them the game WITHOUT ANY RULES and see what they come up with! You might be surprised by how creative they get with their own game rules and ideas for playing. I love board games for another reason— they are low-tech and focus on conversation, turn-taking, executive functioning, and all things language!There are 5 toys in this prize for you, all from the fabulous John Adams, and all ideal for lots of family fun this Christmas.

Or at least, we can try as hard as possible anyway.

Not only do my students like this game, but this was a favorite of my son when he was younger. He always requestedit on“family game night.” I love so many of the Cranium games! This onerequires a little creativity, but not a lot of artistic skill. In fact, the less artistic, the funnier the outcomes. The whole point of the game is to try and scribble something that resembles the ridiculous phrase on the card you start with (i.e. “I’m secretly a mermaid,” or“Look, I invented a Time Machine” ). Then you pass your drawing, and get someone else’s drawing and write a phrase for that (whatever it looks like, you just describe it). As SLP’s we basically already use this strategy when we teach our students new words. Drawing a word, phrase, sentence or idea helpsthem to recall,retain and understand—this game just takes it to another level by presenting phrases that naturally result in very funny outcomes. Difficulty and time: In each round, the artist has a limited amount of time to complete his or her painting. This adds an element of competition and challenge to the game. At the same time, the limited time also helps maintain the agility and appeal of the game. Can you recognise your caption? Now unravel all the pencil scrolls. Which drawing or caption makes you laugh out loud? The funniest wins!So here are my favorite go-to games that I use in my therapy room with my “big kids.” #1. BUBBLE TALK

Ghost CastleAfter several rounds of drawing then creating a caption for the sketch, you’ll be amazed at how ‘THIS’ becomes ‘THAT’! from their hand that is best described by the word on the green apple card played by the judge. Players place these red apple cards face down on the table. The judge mixes the red apple cards so no one knows who Since giving up being a business analyst when juggling travel, work and kids proved too complicated, she founded KiddyCharts so she could be with her kids, and use those grey cells at the same time.

It gives 51%+ profits to Reverence for Life, who fund a number of important initiatives in Africa, including bringing running water and basic equipment to a school in Tanzania.I love this game simply for the 120 adjective tiles that are included. (I have used themseparatelyfor buildingdescriptive sentences.) The goal of the game is todescribe a word on the separate word cards provided. Once you have decided which adjectives best describes your word, the other players must guess what the original word was. This is a great game for focusing on attributes, categorization, and descriptors. The kids will never realize how muchlearning is going on while they play! #4. SCRIBBLISH best described by the word on the green apple card. The player of the selected red apple card is awarded the green apple card played by the judge. However, the problem is that it really is true, because once you enter the castle, and go upstairs, you have managed to wake the ghost of the Count Spookalot, which is a bit of a grouch. Now you’ve upset him, he wants to keep you inside his castle forever!
