  • Costume Character Prosody Game

    Costume Character Prosody Game

    While working with one of my kiddos with CAS this past week, I improvised a fun way to incorporate prosody into our lesson.  Since it’s around Halloween, we said his target words in different voices like our ghost voice, monster voice, or vampire voice!  
    I decided to make a game that would work really anytime of year to work on prosody.  Say it like a Costume Character has 2 sets of 16 different costume characters.  Another 8 cards include fun game directions like: “Costume Caper!  Take a character from another player.”
    Each player has a game board with 8 spots.  Whoever fills up their game board first with a different character occupying each space wins!
    Of course, you could always just have your students draw a card and say their targets using their character imitation, or you can play Memory or Go Fish since two sets of cards are included.

    Spooky Spider Web Game For Apraxia

    Since Childhood Apraxia of Speech requires a different approach to treatment, principles of motor learning theory need to be driving therapy.   You can read more about this in my two interviews: Sharon Gretz interview and Ruth Stoeckel Interview

    Since getting 100-200 reps per session can be tedious and difficult to keep new and fresh, I came up with this fun Halloween game to play while you work on the child’s target sounds.

    Happy Halloween!

    CV BINGO printable FREE!!

    Speech therapy for apraxia requires a motor based treatment approach that works up through a hierarchy of syllable shapes with lots of repetition, repetition, repetition.  Unfortunately, repeating the same syllable shapes is limiting and many times boring. 

    I decided to create some BINGO game sheets that can be used, starting with the CV syllable shape.  Look for more to come if you’re interested!
