This is wonderful game for your social skills groups to practice topic maintenance, turn taking, and asking questions! Each face of the dice equates to a conversation "rule", such as making a comment, asking a question, or changing the topic.
There are two levels of cards, a 20 card set with pictures for your elementary school students, and a 20 card set without pictures for your middle school/high school students. Also included is a game board with "Change the Topic" squares for added fun!
What I love:
- The two levels of cards. The pictures on the first set are a wonderful edition for our non-reading kiddos and the topics are age appropriate. I love that the second set of topic cards doesn't have pictures- your middle school students don't need them, and they often think they are childish. The topics on these cards are also age appropriate, as they allow for greater detail of conversation.
- The game board is great! There are plenty of squares, allowing for multiple opportunities for conversation to take place. I also love the random "Change the Topic" squares, it keeps my students and I on our feet throughout the game!
- The rules of the game are so simple-just do what the number you roll tells you! Some games can have such complex rules and directions to play, that you spend the first five minutes of your therapy session just trying to figure out how to play! In this game, if you roll a 6, you definitely know what you need to do.
Does this game look like something you can use with your students? You can find it here! And be sure to check out the rest of her store, there are TONS of activities for you SLPs in the middle school population!
The preceding thoughts are solely mine and were written on my own terms. No person asked me to write this review.
What is a product you've bought that was "worth it"? I love finding new material!
