Are you ready for some football?!?!

To answer...no, I'm not. The only thing I understand about football is how to eat chicken wings and honestly I am a little to good at that . However, football  is a theme next week at school so I made some fun printables on Mayer-Johnson's Boardmaker program that target vocabulary skills.
The football feild game is to be used as an add on for the Expanding Expressions Tool (EET) Kit developed by Sarah Smith, MS CCC/SLP which you can find here

Touch Down EET Expansion

To play the game, move from the ten yard line, have each student choose one picture .Use the dice in your tool kit to help the students describe pictures on the field. Step down includes having the student expressively identify the picture or receptively identify the picture. The students can roll one die or two dice to increase difficulty.
 After describing their picture they can spin to see how many yards they get to move their football up to their next picture.  First person to the touch down wins! (and then obviously does their touchdown dance...which is the best part :) )
 I used this with students for vocabulary, as well as grammar and articulation. My words were football themed to match the classroom theme, however, you can make your pictures match any theme you want. You can even print it out blank, laminate it and write your own words or tape different pictures on to change it up for each group. Make your football field template and spinner match the needs of your students!  

Have a great week!
