Materials

A set of picture cards (any type: household objects, animals, food, etc.) sorted by beginning sound. Use 4 or 5 sets of 10 cards, each set with the same initial sound.

Procedures

1. Seat the children in a circle. Deal out 2 or 3 cards to each child, face up.

2. Begin by asking "Who has the (banana)?" The child with the (banana) card will give it to the teacher. Proceed until all of the cards are collected.

3. Taking turns, have children act as the teacher. For the child with articulation problems, select the cards with sounds that the child needs to practice. The child will then be saying the sounds as well as hearing them from teacher and peers.

4. The child with labeling difficulties can be aided by the teacher and peers. Prompt the child tactfully by saying, "John, ask for the picture of the car" (point to the picture).
