what toys and products are best ?
I'll try to explain how and why I use certain toys, books, or products that I have had a lot of success with in terms of eliciting language. Not all toys are created equal!
![]() The Funglish game is an absolute favorite for my students! They would play it every day if I let them. Funglish is a game similar to charades, but instead of acting something out to get them to guess, you can only give clues that involves using written words. One person is giving clues while everyone else guesses. The words are split by the clue giver into three categories: Definitely, Sometimes, Never. Kids have to think about adjectives to describe their clue. The clues can be famous people, landmarks, animals, objects, etc. The adjectives are color coded to make the words a little easier to find. There are a lot of words, so it's a few minutes to set it all up. I don't use the timer with my students, but if you want to make it more challenging add that component! This is a game for more advanced children.
Here is the link if you want more info! I feel like even though the game isn't exactly inexpensive, it is well worth it!

This toy is usually a go-to with all my speech language kids. It is the most basic toy, but the sound this thing makes intrigues kids. They just have to hear it again and again. I made a video review for the sound puzzle. I use this toy often with my Early Intervention kids (0-3 years old). It's a pretty basic toy. It is a block puzzle with three different shaped blocks that make a noise as they slide down the tube. Dump them out and start again! Here's how I use it! Expressive:

Here is a link if you want more info about this toy! I made a video review for the Ruff House toy. I use this toy often with my Early Intervention kids (0-3 years old). It's a pretty basic toy. It is a dog house and inside are 10 sets of different textured bones and a cute dog. Here's how I use it! Expressive:
