Created by Erik X. Raj, M.S., CCC-SLP, this easy-to-play and fast-paced speech therapy game helps players to have fun while describing, acting out, and guessing random words. Charades Articulation elaborates on the classic party game of charades by including a comprehensive collection of over 1,000 sound-specific articulation words that can be chosen from to appear during a round of play. These words are designed for speech-language pathologists to use with individuals who exhibit difficulty producing the following speech sounds: S, Z, R, L, S/R/L Blends, SH, CH, and TH.

Features:

-Tons of words: with just a tap of a finger, players can guess and practice over 1,000 sound-specific articulation words that are PERFECT for the speech therapy setting.

-Super versatile: play this FUN game with one other person, or play it with ten people (or more!).

-Child-friendly interface: simple, intuitive, and NO in-app purchases or external links.

Information:

Players of Charades Articulation have the opportunity to describe or act out a set of sound-specific articulation words to a designated person who is called the guesser. Everyone will be able to see the given sound-specific articulation words except for the guesser. The goal of each round of play is to provide the guesser with as many clues as possible, either verbally or physically (or both!), so a large amount of sound-specific articulation words can be successfully guessed. The more words guessed, the higher the final score!
