Favorite Games for Final Consonant Deletion

As SLPs, many of us use games as general reinforcers while working on a variety of speech/language targets.  A lot of times, the games may have nothing to do with the target we’re working on.  Some games & activities I’ve been using this school year with my phono kids, though, have turned out to have great opportunities to work on specific words pertinent to their targets AND to the game. Preschoolers learn a lot through play, so when I have the opportunity to use meaningful target words for artic rather than the drill/take a turn/drill/take a turn method, I take it! The following games/activities are my favorites to use when targeting the phonological process of Final Consonant Deletion:

1.  First up is this cookie jar game I made.  The cookie jar image comes from MyCuteGraphics, and is just pasted into a Word doc, stretched out, printed, and attached to a tissue box with a hole cut out of the middle.  The cookies are just circles cut from brown construction paper with black marker dots on them for chocolate chips.  So. Simple.  But my prek students LOVE it!
Words to target for FCD: eat, hot, out, plate, in, on, gone, time, scoop, chip, bake, take, make
2.  Honey Bee Tree game:
This one is played just like Kerplunk, but has leaves/bees/honeypot in a tree rather than just sticks and marbles. 
Words to target for FCD: in (putting leaves in, putting bees in), out (pulling leaves out, bees falling out, taking bees out), drop (dropping bees in) down (bees fell down), turn (my turn/your turn), buzz, bees, gone, come/home (one of my kiddos liked to make the bees buzz away for a second, and I would have to tell them to “come” and then she would have them fly “home” for each turn)
3.  Potato Head
This should come as no surprise, but there is an abundance of great words to target for FCD with everyone’s favorite spud!
Words to target for FCD:
final t: hat, foot/feet, out, put
final n/m: in, arm
final s/z: eyes, nose, toes, purse, any other plurals
final f: off, 
final p: top, hop
final k: take
4.  Don’t Break the Ice:

Words to target for FCD: turn (my turn/your turn), in (work on as you set up and put ice blocks in), gone (all the blocks have been knocked out), hit, out, knock, break, ice
Do you have any specific games you use for particular speech or language targets? I’d love to hear about them if you do!

This was the first time I’ve ever used the Cricut to write with a pen, and I’m obsessed! It’s so much better than my own cursive handwriting 😬

Also it’s 9:15 on Christmas Eve and I still haven’t put them on the gifts. Or finished wrapping. Or finished baking. Who else is in the same boat?! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Read Little Blue Truck’s Christmas and use my FREE Little Blue Truck’s Christmas Boom cards to act out the story. (If you aren’t on my email list and missed these, I added a link in my profile to get ‘em).

Afterwards, pull up my standalone Little Blue Truck’s Boom Card book companion and target basically any preschool goal you have with some more Little Blue Truck-themed activities!

If you don’t have the companion yet.. you’re in luck because I’ve teamed up with some other SLPs to bring you a surprise sale to close out 2020, where my 4 featured resources on my TPT storefront are 20% off for the week, and this boom card set is one of them!

Are you using Cariboo in teletherapy? I tried it o Are you using Cariboo in teletherapy? I tried it out without extra equipment for the first time a couple weeks ago (I used to use my phone as a document camera) and ya know what? It worked just fine!

All I did was set up my laptop on top of a couple boxes to elevate it, and faced Cariboo towards the screen. I’d ask a question and lower the screen so they could see the board better to tell me what to open, then I’d lift the screen back up to show my face for the next question. It was super easy and actually went better than expected!

So for all of you Cariboo lovers wanting to still use your card sets during virtual therapy... give this a shot!
