A Silly Riddle Word Game

Are you still looking for a great Christmas gift for your child this year?
One game I recommend is Riddle Moo This™ - A Silly Riddle Word Game by Learning Resources
$29.99


The game targets listening and language as children  build vocabulary by identifying words based on a description. 
It’s a fruit, it can be red, and it crunches when you take a bite.” 
Buzz if you know the answer! 

The advanced gameplay involves critical thinking and expressive language skills to change one clue on the brainteaser card to create a new answer to the riddle. Like most games, it encourages listening, communication, interaction, turn taking, socialization and laughter. Patience and waiting may also be targeted by teaching and then remembering the appropriate time to hit the buzzers! It is advertised for children 5 years and up but I use it with pre-schoolers in LSL sessions.

Who is the AVT Graduate?

Can you tell which cheerleader is one of my Auditory Verbal graduates?

 I didn't think so. You wouldn't in person either. 
She is a great listener, uses clear speech and her spoken language skills are on par with her hearing high school peers!

Competition season started! Good luck ladies!
