Information:

In Game Show Articulation, students test their knowledge to see if they know the answer to random trivia questions. Featuring an extensive list of child-friendly trivia questions where each answer is an articulation word, this speech therapy game gives all players a massive amount of opportunities to practice proper pronunciation. Each round consists of one question and three possible answers. If the student gets the question correct, a celebration is in order because that student has just won a fantastic prize!

Traditional speech therapy that focuses on improving articulation abilities can usually get stale and boring, but through Game Show Articulation, speech therapy can easily become an enjoyable competition that strengthens students’ thinking brains and talking mouths. It is the hope of this speech-language pathologist that by encouraging students to participate in this game show-centered experience, they will be able to practice their pronunciation in a way that can lead to fabulous gains toward mastering their speech therapy goals and objectives.

The structure of Game Show Articulation is a departure from traditional articulation drill work and is effective for students ages 6 and up. With this trivia game, clients have a blast challenging their friends and classmates outside of the speech therapy room, further practicing their articulation skills and thereby facilitating the sometimes difficult stage of carrying over newly-acquired skills. By playing Game Show Articulation with the client, paraprofessionals in the classroom and/or parents at home can reinforce the client’s skills while sharing a wonderful activity. Practicing communication skills in environments outside the speech therapy setting increases opportunities for generalization of communication skills.

So, are you ready to be a big winner? Do you have what it takes to become a trivia AND articulation champion? I invite you to use Game Show Articulation to spice up your speech therapy sessions. Regardless of when, where, or how this game is used within the speech therapy session, one thing is certain, children (as well as clinicians) will have a delightful time giving this game a try . . . and in the process, your students will continue to practice the correct pronunciation of their sounds at the word level.
