Fun Games To Play
Matching Pairs
Using double copies of pictures containing target sounds or words turn cards upside down in a random order and take turns finding a pair that match. Say the words as you turn them over. You can make it harder by increasing the number of pictures.
Snap
Deal out all the cards and play each card one at a time and say the word. If a matching card is placed down, then call "snap" and that player gets the cards. The game ends when one player has no cards left.
Hide and Seek
Hide pictures of target sounds or words around the room. Your child must find the pictures and say the word when they find it.
Posting
Using a shoe box or tin, your child can help decorate it, post pictures into the box after saying the target sound or word
Fishing Game
An inexpensive fishing game can be purchased from supermarkets or two dollar shops. Place a picture under each fish and use the magnetic rod to catch the fish. The child then turns the picture over and says the word.
Skittles
Skittles can also be purchased from the supermarket or "two dollar" shops. Place the pictures under each skittle and as the child knocks the skittles down they say the words.
Guessing Game
This is a fun game for older children. Take a picture, but don't let your child see it. Give clues to describe the picture and see if your child can guess what it is. Let your child have a turn giving you clues.
