Name It Game 1

While many speech programs show students picture cards and ask them to name the items, it is difficult to determine whether the students understand the relationship between items within a category. The Name It! Game encourages students to communicate, listen carefully, and use their short and long-term memory skills to demonstrate comprehension of common words.

When players land on a game board square or select a draw card, they read a question, which asks them to name an item within a category. The categories are Fruits, Animals, Body Parts, Colors, Sports, Holidays, Vegetables, Signs, Vehicles, TV Shows, People, States, Towns, Breakfast Foods, Months and Days of the Week, School Subjects, Community Helpers, Grooming Items, Rooms in a House, Stores, Exercises, Cleaning Chores, Restaurants, and Teachers at School.

For example, if a player lands on the 'Name a Fruit' square and they state 'apple,' the game monitor records the answer on the score sheet under 'Fruits.' When another player is asked to name a fruit, any fruit can be named except those already provided. Players receive one point for providing an answer that has not already been given; each player keeps their own score, and the first person to reach 25 points wins.
