We know it may be too cold to think about ice cream where you
are, but The Speech Ladies LOVE ice cream even in the middle of winter!
Introducing Minimal Pairs Ice Cream Scoops! This activity
targets minimal pairs. It is great for auditory discrimination and to work on
articulation. It may also remind you of the Foam Scoops Game (I still use these
all the time!).
To use this activity just print on cardstock, cut and
laminate. Then give each student a cone. Blank cones and scoops are included in
the download so that you can target other sounds too!
Then the SLP can read the word on the scoop and have the
student identify which cone it belongs with. Or you can have your students read
the scoop. If they say the word correctly they may put it on their cone. If
they say it wrong, they must give the scoop back. The student with the most
scoops wins!
This game is also a great opportunity to talk about flavors. I
am always so surprised that kids have a hard time naming flavors. They usually
just call it the color, for instance ‘brown’ and ‘white’ instead of chocolate
and vanilla.
