Game Night Ideas!
Your child doesn’t have to have a speech or language issue to participate—game night is beneficial for everyone! It's a great way for the whole family to develop critical thinking, enhance language and social skills, and build foundational life skills. Games provide an excellent opportunity to take a break from screens and engage in activities that foster essential skills. Also if your child has an articulation error and sound they are working on in therapy, this can also be targeted in any and all games!
A Few of My Favorite Game Recommendations:
- Headbanz (Vocabulary)
- Guess Who (Asking questions, describing, categorizing)
- Pictionary or Charades (Vocabulary/Quick sketch game)
- Scattergories (Creative thinking, category-based)
- Twister (Following directions, color & left/right concepts)
- Telephone (Memory)
- 20 Questions (Categories/Vocabulary)
- Can You Name Five? (Vocabulary - Categories)
- Simon Says (Memory, listening, following directions)
- What’s in Ned’s Head?
- Puzzles (Tip: Leave one out on the table for a few days; your child can add pieces as they pass by to work on visual perceptual skills.)
Also remember you can expand upon anything! For example, when driving in the car you can ask what they see, have them describe/categorize/etc. Also during that time you could also do Rhyming, Cities and syllables, or even make up silly stories using any sound they are working on such as s, r, th, etc. Games can be a creative and fun way to help your scholar, and the possibilities are endless!
