Mr. Potato Head

This toy is still a classic today! It provides plenty of language opportunities when helping little ones learn body parts, colors, spatial directions, attributes, colors and so much more! You can even create social/pragmatic learning opportunities with two or more Mr. Potato Heads and initiate dialogue between characters or help children recognize absurdities by putting body parts in the wrong places and asking, “What’s wrong?” Lots of giggles are in store!

Color Fun Fish bowl

Although the best speech-language games do not necessarily make noise, the Color Fun Fish Bowl, or other fish bowl themed toys, are motivating for children and target more than just identification of colors. Along with targeting auditory comprehension, interactive play with this toy also targets: fine motor skills; following directions; and knowledge of concepts “in,” “out” and “through,” among other lessons that can be implemented.

Scattergories (Original or Junior) and/or Scattergories The Card Game

A classic! Depending on the age of your child, the original or “Junior” version of Scattergories, as well as Scattergories The Card Game create great language-building opportunities. Children are challenged- at whatever level that works best for them- to generate names of items for various categories when given a target letter. Scattergories Junior is now a collectible item and is difficult to find under $40, but links to the updated version of the original and The Card Game version are listed below.
