Description: Use these 20 open ended games to reinforce accuracy/effort while targeting ANY skill. I love these for speech & language mixed groups and articulation therapy sessions. Have students perform the target skill/task to your liking X times in order to earn a turn at the game. These games are made for groups or 2 or more, but if you see children individually, you can be the play partner! TO PLAY: Explain that each player will get a turn to drag and drop an item after performing X skill. The object of the game is to collect the most hidden items. On their turn, players should choose ONE item and drag it to the themed image in the middle of the screen. If that reveals a hidden item, they can drag it to their square. They may also uncover secret messages that shake up the game. Once all hidden items are revealed, the player(s) with the most items WINS! There are 20 games in all! Have fun & work hard! HERE IS A TIP: If you are using these for language therapy and want to build expressive language, share the screen but DO NOT share the mouse. This will force your students to articulate and describe which item they want you to drag for them! *Teachers/therapists, I will occasionally rearrange the hidden items and secret messages. Help?
