“Find It” Game for Speech Therapy

November 13, 2012

Have you heard the newest!? It’s the “Find It” game where kids sort through little beads in a bottle and try to come across objects on a list. Students love it and thanks to my friend, Jacquie, I decided to make one for myself.

Here’s what you do:
1. Grab an empty bottle and fill it with small beads.
2. Hide objects in the bottle. My bottle was filled with /r/ words to make /r/ articulation a little more exciting. Things like “rocket, red dog, ribbon, heart, car, truck, etc….” were hidden. You could do “things that rhyme with….things found in the animal category…..things that start with…..” The possibilities are endless!
3. Take the lid and hot glue AND duck tape that sucker on there. You have no idea how many of my students thought the object of the game was try to spill the beads on the floor.

 

Kids shake and twist the bottle until they find the objects. We had an 8 second rule. Once the 8 seconds were up, another student took a turn.
Have you thought of anything YOU could use this game for…?

Come as you are. Leave encouraged.

      I actually used buttons. If you go to a craft store, look for a bag of bulk buttons. They have tons of difference little objects and shapes. It’s easy and doesn’t cost much either!

    Thanks to telling how you found objects to put in it. I was wondering the same thing. I am lucky enough to have the original version as well as the Wizard of Oz one (at home) which I bring to school to use.

    SO MUCH FUN!!!

First day of year 11 for me!  This is one of my f First day of year 11 for me! 
This is one of my favorite verses and such a timely message for my students AND me! 
This year my husband and I made the decision to homeschool our first grader. I was NOT thinking I would ever be a "homeschool mama" and I'm still not sure how it will all get done with me working part-time but here I am, praying for strength, and patience, and energy, and discipline, and thinking, "perhaps this is the moment for which I have been created?" 🤗

So if this year is full of uncertainty for you as well, know that He’s ☝️got this and I'm praying for the both of us, that we would shine brightly, and make the most of EVERY moment. 💗
P.S. (Because I know I'll get comments, I work at a private christian school, so I'm totally allowed to put verses on my door!) 🙏🏻

FREE CVC word list organized by sound in my Newsle FREE CVC word list organized by sound in my Newsletter library. 

It’s my go-to when starting out articulation therapy. Simple, one syllable words that students are able to sound out provide a framework for phonological awareness skills which studies say also help increase articulation skills. 👏

Lately I've been finding myself singing this verse Lately I've been finding myself singing this verse (thanks Kari Jobe 😀) over the people in my life. Did you know that includes you all? Praying for a successful start to your year, whatever that looks like, and for our students to feel safe, loved, valued, educated, respected, protected, cherished, and appreciated. May the Lord bless you as you do His work. ⁠
