Jeopardy

This is a cheap easy game that can be used with a group of kids or even just with an SLP and one student. The way I did this game was make the hardest sounds and sounds the students didn't like to make be the most points. Points in Jeopardy sure are motivating. The boxes are each flipped over artic cards (I used the ones from Super Duper). The game is played a lot like Jeopardy. I used a poster board and just taped the cards on carefully. I took the cards off for the students or else you might have ripped cards. Sometimes you have to manipulate the game and say "Johnny you can't do any more /or/ cards until you have done two more /er/ cards." Some kids struggle on different sounds or excel,  making this game slightly unfair. Thus the SLP has to manipulate it at times to make sure it is more fair and each student is practicing the needed sounds. This can be used at any level except sound and conversation level, so it works for word, phrase, and sentence level. To make this even cheaper, you could make your own artic cards out of construction paper.
