Word Retrieval Quia games by Speech Language Pathologist Boyd

What's My Name Game #1 - http://www.quia.com/cb/6238.html

" Guess the name of the item that is being described in a given

category (categories include fruits, vegetables, vehicles, and

furniture). This activity is appropriate for use during

speech/language therapy focusing on expressive vocabulary, word

retrieval, and making inferences. You may want to type in answers

for students who are not strong spellers, as errors with spelling

are not counted as correct. "

Finish the word pair to work on word retrieval skills, such as " salt

and ____ " .

" Complete the pair of words that often go together. For

example, " King and Queen " or " Salt and Pepper " .This is a great

activity to work on word retrieval skills. If students don't know

the word, it may help to give them the first letter, sound,or

syllable to aid their retrieval. "
