Deal or No Deal- The articulation version

If you haven't seen this game show, I imagine that many of you have at least heard of the name....Deal or No Deal. 

I purchased this game at Salvation Army about six months ago for 1.99 with the goal of figuring out how to use it in therapy. My students, after all, love anything that deals with money. I am constantly getting asked how much such and such cost or if I bought X, Y, & Z. They also love to show off their small collections of change to each other. This game simply screamed "transform me" and I'm proud to say that we have been using it to practice sentence level targets.

Now, I will go ahead and warn you that regular Webber articulation cards will not fit into the briefcases. They are a bit too wide. Luckily, I printed off and laminated some smaller articulation decks from Mommy Speech Therapy to replace a chunk of missing cards. I just simply slid the small cards into the brief cases along with the regular card. Every time my students "opened" a case, I had them use the target word in a sentence. My language students had to make up descriptive sentences or ones that contained plural forms. The best part is that the game can be easily adapted for a variety of targets by simply adding a small picture or word card.

Adding in the music to the background is definitely an added bonus that my kids enjoyed.
