Road Trip!

If I could give my clients one idea to help them fit in their "speech practice" over the summer it would be...

ROAD TRIP GAMES


Some of my fondest memories from childhood were playing games on a seemingly unending road trip. Little did I know that I was learning all the while.  My mom and grandma probably did but I was oblivious to that fact...until I became a speech therapist and definitely when I became a parent.

Some of the BEST language, phonological and articulation games you can play are IN THE CAR! 

Here is a list of my favorites:

*My Father Owns A Grocery Store 
*I Spy (use colors or sounds)
*Travel Bingo (purchase or make your own!)
*License Plate Game (see how many states you can find!)
*Moving Through The Alphabet (use those road signs and license plates to find each letter of the alphabet)


 Over the years my family and I  have enjoyed each of these on our yearly trips "Up North."  

What are yours? 

As always, thank you for reading,

Jen

Hi Katie!

Glad that you like the tip. So, to play My Father Owns A Grocery Store, you say "My father owns a grocery store and in it, he sells something that begins with the /b/ sound. Then, if your friends can't guess, you can give more clues like "it's cold or you find it in the freezer section etc..." The reason I love this game so much is that you can adapt it to ANY skill so you can use colors ("something that is green") or use articulation sounds ("something that starts with an /s/" or categories ("something that is a dessert"). Hope that answers your question and thanks for reading!

OH! and then you take turns around the car...once someone guesses...sorry, forget that important part.
