There are many game apps out there that can be used as reinforcers during therapy or testing. Most, if not all, have many opportunities to work on language skills, too. I’ll address a few that I like in the the next few posts beginning with….
Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio (all free versions for me)
Apparently many people find these birds and pigs addicting. Luckily, I do not. Basically with this game you lauch the birds at the pigs to make them pop. It takes some planning to get themost points or stars at each level.
Some language ideas to work on with these games include positional concepts, sequencing, seasonal vocabulary, size and shape concepts, describing, asking and answering questions, explaining strategy/reasoning, writing or telling about how to play the game, vocabulary (think of new words like launch), comparing and contrasting… and the list goes on.
What else can you work on with the Angry Birds games?
Search 'angry birds' in itunes and all the paid and free options for the iPod Touch/iPhone and the iPad come up for you.
