Speech Group It- Card Game for Improving Category Recognition and Naming

Excellent picture quality.great game for speech therapy

This game has great potential for language learners. The cards are attractive and contain high frequency vocabulary, rich in student vocabulary (toys, playground, food, transportation, etc.) I am not an avid game player so I would like to see online the actual game in action but we were able to come up with our own rules pretty quickly. We play it like a combination of Uno and Go Fish. I am not sure if that is the intention but we are having fun.

This game has so many uses for speech language therapy. Category knowledge, labeling, compare and contrast, etc. I especially liked the photographs. I haven’t played the game as directed, but the flexibility with the cards in therapy makes it a valuable tool.

I used this for students who are working on categorization skills and those working on describing. If they have a hard time offering a categorical base when describing an item, I know they need to work on their group labels. When they pick up a single item, I have them label the item and say, "An apple is a kind of fruit" and when they pick up card with multiple items, they label the group, "bedroom furniture." I also used it for students with word retrieval difficulty.

Wanted to use it with a learning disabled student. It is a group game with confusing directions
