"I have a fun game I use
often for articulation, especially with those in 3rd grade and up. For
stimulus materials, either a word list or picture cards can be used. In
addition, I have small slips of laminated paper with different
"points" written on them, such as "17",
"148", "5,824", "25,000" , etc. (random
numbers). After students say their targeted word or sentence a certain
number of times, they get to draw a points slip and keep track of their
points on a calculator. It's also fun to add slips that say,
"Bankrupt" , "Draw 5 more slips", "Remove the
bankrupt slip from the pile" and "Double your score" on
them. Students have fun keeping track of their points and seeing if they
can break their previous records. I have a few middle school students who
just LOVE this game. I've also used it to reinforce fluency and for a
variety of language tasks as well. Have fun...most students will really
love this game!" from Tracy Gefroh Boyd
