Created by Erik X. Raj, M.S., CCC-SLP, Game Show Articulation is a unique speech therapy game that turns students into game show contestants and challenges them to answer super fun trivia questions for a chance to win cool prizes. Game Show Articulation features a comprehensive collection of over 600 sound-specific articulation words and questions designed for speech-language pathologists to use with individuals who exhibit difficulty producing the following speech sounds: S, Z, R, L, S/R/L Blends, SH, CH, and TH. This thrilling trivia game is intended to aid in the remediation of articulation impairments, as well as language and auditory memory difficulties because clients often need practice in more than one area of communication. This fast-paced and exciting speech therapy game features: -Tons of questions: with just a tap of a finger, children and clinicians can try to solve over 600 sound specific articulation questions that are perfect for the speech therapy setting. -A wonderful review screen: after each round, enjoy viewing and reviewing the articulation word to help strengthen pronunciation. -Hilarious prizes: after each round, tap on the prize icon to hear what silly prize you won! -Child-friendly interface: simple and intuitive, a wonderful experience from start to finish. Information: In Game Show Articulation, students test their knowledge to see if they know the answer to random trivia questions. Featuring an extensive list of child-friendly trivia questions where each answer is an articulation word, this speech therapy game gives all players a massive amount of opportunities to practice proper pronunciation. Each round consists of one question and three possible answers. If the student gets the question correct, a celebration is in order because that student has just won a fantastic prize! Traditional speech therapy that focuses on improving articulation abilities can usually get stale and boring, but through Game Show Articulation, speech therapy can easily become an enjoyable competition that strengthens students’ thinking brains and talking mouths. It is the hope of this speech-language pathologist that by encouraging students to participate in this game show-centered experience, they will be able to practice their pronunciation in a way that can lead to fabulous gains toward mastering their speech therapy goals and objectives. The structure of Game Show Articulation is a departure from traditional articulation drill work and is effective for students ages 6 and up. With this trivia game, clients have a blast challenging their friends and classmates outside of the speech therapy room, further practicing their articulation skills and thereby facilitating the sometimes difficult stage of carrying over newly-acquired skills. By playing Game Show Articulation with the client, paraprofessionals in the classroom and/or parents at home can reinforce the client’s skills while sharing a wonderful activity. Practicing communication skills in environments outside the speech therapy setting increases opportunities for generalization of communication skills. So, are you ready to be a big winner? Do you have what it takes to become a trivia AND articulation champion? I invite you to use Game Show Articulation to spice up your speech therapy sessions. Regardless of when, where, or how this game is used within the speech therapy session, one thing is certain, children (as well as clinicians) will have a delightful time giving this game a try . . . and in the process, your students will continue to practice the correct pronunciation of their sounds at the word level.

Articulation Arcade brings speech sound practice, a wide variety of games, progress tracking, and rewards together in one easy-to-use app. Choose a target speech sound, pick a game, and start practicing — whether that means kicking goals in Kick & Say, climbing ladders in Snakes & Ladders, or launching the slingshot in Knockdown. The app handles the flashcards, scoring, and data, so you can focus on supporting each child’s speech. Created by a certified speech-language pathologist (SLP), Articulation Arcade is designed specifically for children with speech sound delay or speech sound disorder. Built with SLPs in mind, it’s also simple enough for parents and teachers to use at home or in the classroom with guidance from a speech professional. Fun, interactive games and a star reward system keep kids motivated and celebrate every step of their speech progress. **PERFECT FOR** * Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and SLP assistants in schools, clinics, and private practice * Teletherapy and in-person sessions alike * Early intervention and preschool speech therapy * Special education teachers and support staff * Parents supporting speech practice at home * Kids working on articulation and phonology goals **HOW IT WORKS** Pick an articulation game or the Flashcards activity, choose your target sound and word position (initial, medial, or final), and start. On each turn, a flashcard pops up and the child says their target word, phrase, or sentence as many times as needed. Score each production as correct, approximately correct, or incorrect — no separate data sheet required. **9 ARTICULATION GAMES** * Kick & Say — kick the ball to collect pictures and score a goal. * Snakes & Ladders — take turns climbing ladders and dodging snakes. * Knockdown — pull the slingshot and launch the ball at the stack. * Four in a Row — line up four counters to win. * Tic Tac Toe — get three in a row to win the game. * Matching — find the matching picture pairs. * Bingo — hear the word, find the picture, and stamp it. * Spin the Wheel — spin and land on a picture. * Scratchcards — scratch to reveal the flashcard beneath. Kick & Say includes a two-player mode, and Snakes & Ladders supports up to four players — so kids can play against their SLP or parent, or take turns in group therapy sessions. **STAR REWARDS** Kids earn a star for every production marked correct, then spend their stars to unlock Kick & Say teams, Bingo stamps, and Snakes & Ladders game pieces. A Star Progress screen shows what they’ve unlocked and how many stars they need to reach the next reward — a simple motivator that encourages kids to practice even more. **WHAT’S INSIDE** * Over 1,400 real-life photos — real objects, not cartoons, to support generalization. * All 22 English consonant sound programs, plus l, r, and s blends. * Sounds targeted in initial, medial, and final positions. * Word, phrase, and sentence level practice. * Approximately 60 target words for most speech sounds. **BUILT FOR SPEECH THERAPY** * An individual profile for each child. * Record and play back productions to monitor responses. * Email a results summary — no data sheets, no printing, no prep. * Results tracking and built-in data storage. * Works fully offline — no Wi-Fi required, perfect for any therapy room or on the go. **ONE-TIME PURCHASE** — no subscriptions, no monthly fees. Buy once and keep it forever. 9 games, real photos, and automatic data recording — everything you need to make articulation practice something kids look forward to. Download Articulation Arcade and see the difference in your next speech therapy session.
