Directions for Making Your Own Speech Switcheroo Game
- Print 4 copies of the free speech card set of your choice. (You probably need no more than 12-15 cards to make a large enough deck, so I recommend printing four copies of only one page of the sets.)
- Print 1 copy of the special cards. (Found at the bottom of this page. Click to open full-size image then right click on that and save image to your computer for printing.)
- Before cutting the cards out, put yellow stickers on each card of the first sheet and one one of the skip cards and one of the +2 cards. Then do the same for green stickers on another sheet, red stickers on the third sheet, and blue stickers on the fourth sheet. No stickers need to be placed on the Switcheroo cards. You could also use colored markers to make dots on the pages if you don't have stickers in the four colors.
- Cut out all the cards and shuffle. Then deal 7 cards to each player and play the game uno-style. Have the child say the speech word as they play each card.

One year ago, during a speech session with our early intervention therapist, I encountered a very concrete example of the oral apraxia exhibited by both of my children.
Fantastic idea! Thank you!

I can't download the picture cards. Is there a different link?
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know the link was broken! It is fixed now. You can also find the link for the free card sets at the top of the page. Also, a prepared Speech Switcheroo set is part of the /k/ speech kit available in the Shop (see sidebar for link). It's all ready to print and use.
DeleteI love these! I am an SLP but also have a daughter that was just diagnosed with CAS. These are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI am having trouble printing the special game cards for Switcheroo. Do you know if it is user error or an issue with the link? :)
