My students and I really like Artic Chipper Chat! I like that there are many variations that this game can be used to meet different needs. You can be working on a particular sound with one student while still working on language skills with another. I also use the laminated boards to my advantage and have the kiddos use dry erase markers to find the picture that matches the word on their card. I find this keeping them engaged and they look forward to the "hunt" of their pictures. Overall a great product!

The activity includes not only articulation drill but word find (vocabulary) drill. It's great because the riddles are phrased in rhymes. It's a great activity my children ask for often!!

I am the parent of a 3 1/2 year old boy who is currently receiving speech therapy. I purchased this game to help me practice at home. He loves the "magic wand" and is willing to play with me. We did change the rules and place the magnetic chips on the words. He then says the word and uses the wand to remove the chip. You get the wand when it is your turn. I like the flexibility this game gives us. The different sounds, being able to vary the length of the game and tailor it to my child and his attention span is great. He knows he is working on his words but his still likes the game enough to do his work.
