Speech-a-Boo
Speech practice through play
Simple, flexible games that get children talking, turn by turn. Clear rules, minimal setup, and targets you can adapt for every sound stage.
Three game styles
Each game has clear rules and can be adjusted to the sounds a child is working on.
Children repeat target sounds as they move a token along a story path. Each square adds a new word to say aloud.
Players take turns naming picture cards and passing the spinner. The rhythm keeps conversation going without pressure.
Children match pictures to words and say each one as they place it. Cards can be sorted by sound, topic, or length.
Why games work
When practice feels like a game, children are more willing to try sounds and words. Turns, rewards, and shared goals take the focus off performance.
Game-centered sessions also invite spontaneous talk, because a child who wants the next turn has a reason to speak.
