Games in Therapy

Do you like to use games in therapy? I LOVE using games in therapy because they are fun and the students do not even realize that they are working while they are practicing important skills. It is a win-win for all! Sometimes you can work on a skill and then play a quick game at the end of the session and other times games can be incorporated right into the session.

One of our favorite games to play is Connect Four because it is a back and forth 2 player game. Students can work on a task and earn the pieces to play at the end or they can work while we play.

I created game companions for Connect Four for different language skills that my students were working on and plan to make some more in the future because they have been such a big hit. Currently posted are VERBS, ADJECTIVES and HOMONYMS.
