So here are my favorite go-to games that I use in my therapy room with my “big kids.” #1. BUBBLE TALK

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

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! Helen has worked as a digital marketing consultant (IDM qualified) with various organisations, including Channel Mum, Truprint, Talk to Mums, and Micro Scooters. She loves to be creative in the brand campaigns she works on.The classic TV show game, perfect for the whole family as it works for 8+ to 88! You need nerves and skill to play, and the main question with it, as always is: Place the scrolls face down in the center of the table and scramble them. (Make sure only the last drawing is showing on your scroll). 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.
