Fast Thinking Category Game - Listening & Spoken Language

 
 

Searching for an easy, fun, and engaging game? JUST SAY IT - is a Listening and Spoken Language game created to build vocabulary, classification, and auditory memory skills often needed by children who are deaf and hard of hearing.

While not age-specific it has been successfully used with kids as young Pre-K and up through middle school. This resource can be easily leveled up or down to meet a variety of children's goals. There are 32 categories of multiple levels to support children in developing category knowledge.

 Just Say It! can also be found in TPT as an interactive digital PDF or in my Listen With Lynn™ Boom Learning Store. To use Boom Cards, you must be connected to the Internet.
