I’ve noticed the novelty and excitement of using the iPad has started to fade a bit with my kids. I find them asking to play some of my board game and non-iPad activities instead. I never thought that I would see the day when a fifth grader would choose Candy Land over Angry Birds! Since just about every kid has access to a tablet or smart device of some sort, playing a game that you can actually hold the pieces for seems new and fun. You heard it hear folks, board games are back!

Here are some a my favorite board games, and non-ipad games, to use in speech with all my different age groups. If there is a game you like, just click the link to go to Amazon and check it out.  There are no Amazon Affiliate links in this post, I just felt it would be easier to link to Amazon than a different site if there was something you wanted to check out.

I use these games as general reinforcement, to target basic concepts, describing, pragmatics, comparing and contrasting, categorizing, expanding utterances, and more.

  1. Uno always a hit with any age. For the older set pick-up-sticks. I can always find a tube of these around the holidays.
