Articulation and Memory Activity Idea

This is a quick, easy and fun game that targets articulation and memory. 

We used the English /s/ mixed theme. 

Here are the steps: 

1) Introduce all 12 snaps 

2) Flip over all 12 snaps so that they are upside down. Shuffle them. 

3) Have a barrier between you and the child (we simply used a piece of cardboard)

4) Take away 6 of the 12 snaps without looking at the snaps. 

5) The child now flips over the remaining 6 snaps to see what stayed behind. 

6) Can he/she request the missing snaps, while using good /s/ production? 

Contingencies: 

- If he/she gets stuck, give a little hint to describe a picture/snap.

- To make it easier or more difficult, take away less or more snaps. 

My 7-year-old opponent remembered all 6 snaps, with the help of one little hint and did a great job with the /s/ sound! 

See, we told you it was quick, easy and fun!
