Description

Are you looking for a way to simplify your therapy planning? Do you need a resource that seamlessly adapts to mixed groups, individual sessions, or social skills groups? This barrier games bundle is just what you need!

Barrier games are a flexible therapy tool! This bundle is designed to elevate speaking and listening skills in speech therapy, ESL classes, special education, and beyond. Barrier games address a common challenge many SLPs face: finding adaptable materials that cater to diverse learning needs and objectives.

Barrier games are a therapy tool that transforms the way you approach language goals, making learning an interactive and enjoyable experience for students. Perfect for mixed groups, helping to generalize concepts, and works great in social skills groups.

With a focus on both expressive and receptive skills, this bundle aids in developing crucial speaking and listening skills like giving and following directions. It’s an engaging way to enhance social skills, basic concepts, vocabulary, categorization, sentence formation, and storytelling. 

Each speaking and listening skills game within the bundle is crafted to encourage active participation and communication, fostering an environment where students can thrive in their speaking and listening abilities.

This bundle includes 20 barrier game resources with a variety of seasons, holidays, and fun themes. It has 32 printable barrier games + 10 digital barrier games.

✅ All barrier games include:

  • The scene
  • The pieces to go with the scene
  • List of directions to give with each scene for VOCABULARY, ADJECTIVES, SPATIAL DIRECTIONS, MULTI-STEP DIRECTIONS, SEQUENTIAL DIRECTIONS
  • Printable barrier games include black and white versions

➜ Want to streamline therapy planning?
➜ Want to utilize more open-ended materials that can be used to work on multiple goal areas?
➜ Need resources for mixed groups, individual sessions, or social skills groups?


WHAT ARE BARRIER GAMES?

Use barrier games to target:

  • Vocabulary
  • Adjectives
  • Spatial concepts
  • Following multi-step directions
  • Sequential directions
  • Social skills
  • Categorization
  • Wh questions
  • Describing
  • Sentence and question formulation…and more!

 

How to play:

Give everyone playing a scene and set of pieces. Set up a barrier between players (e.g., file folder). One person (clinician or student) arranges all their pieces on the scene and then gives directions to other player(s) on where to place the items. The purpose of the game is to have matching scenes at the end. You can play one-on-one with your student, two students with each other, or a group of students with another group.

You can put sticky tack on each piece so it will stick to the scene – or simply just place it on the scene. Barrier games are also commonly played on a magnetic surface. You can play on cookie sheets and place pieces on a thin, sticky magnet if you wish.

Nontraditional ways to play:

  • Target a specific goal – I control the game by giving the student a scene and verbally give them a list of directions to follow (without trying to match another board). Each game has premade directions for vocabulary, adjectives, prepositions, multi-step directions, and sequential directions. The pieces included purposefully have varying attributes (i.e., a big and little ball, different colored backpacks, etc.)
  • Social skills – Have your student give YOU directions! This requires a whole new level of skills to plan out and use expressive language to accurately describe the pieces and where they are in the scene. This provides opportunities such as making eye contact and clarifying directions.
  • Articulation – Use the articulation barrier game with sound-loaded scenes and pieces for /s/, /r/, /l/, “sh,” “ch,” and “th.” A barrier game makes it easy to target these sounds at the word, phrase, sentence, and conversation levels.
  • Digital – Having no print activities comes in handy when traveling to different locations or doing teletherapy. The digital barrier games include an open play scene, plus directions to follow on each slide. The student drags and drops the piece into the correct location and then self-check their answer.

SLPS AND EDUCATORS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “These barrier activities have been one of my main therapy tools since I discovered them–awhile ago now–and they keep getting better! After laminating pictures, I use Aleene’s Tack it Over and Over again so that students can move pieces anywhere in the scene. I write goals for giving and following directions, and students in groups take turns as speaker and listener. These are incredible flexible tools across a range of skill levels. Over distance learning, my students easily transitioned to the digital format, for which I was very very grateful. Thank you for this excellent resource!!!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This is a great buy. We all have students working on WH questions, following directions (spatial, multi-step, vocabulary based, etc). This is such a flexible resource and can really be used in so many different ways!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “My kids love using the interactive pieces for these tasks. These are great for comprehension and expressive language tasks. So versatile! Definitely worth the cost and prep time!”

  79. Ashli G. –

    Great bundle!

  80. Michelle D. –

    These barrier activities have been one of my main therapy tools since I discovered them–awhile ago now–and they keep getting better! After laminating pictures, I use Aleene’s Tack it Over and Over again so that students can move pieces anywhere in the scene. I write goals for giving and following directions, and students in groups take turns as speaker and listener. These are incredible flexible tools across a range of skill levels. Over distance learning, my students easily transitioned to the digital format, for which I was very very grateful. Thank you for this excellent resource!!!

  81. Emily L. –

    5 stars – this is awesome. It saved me so much time on making the digital files for barrier games. I love to use them for mixed groups and they are such flexible activities! I think I’ve got some other SLP friends hooked from how much I like them. They can be a bit of a pain to make, but I get so much more engagement from my students with them. I would almost give 4.5 stars instead of 5 because the boom cards don’t work nearly as well for me. I find the pictures are too small to be really functional the way I was hoping, but honestly it’s still been a worthwhile purchase just for the printable ones. I’d love to see printable versions of the scenes that are exclusive to boom cards since I really can’t use those!

  82. Tami B. –

    My students enjoy these!

  83. Jody M. –

    My kids love using the interactive pieces for these tasks. These are great for comprehension and expressive language tasks. So versatile! Definitely worth the cost and prep time!

  84. Kym L. –

    Great resource to introduce different words to students learning English as a second language.

  85. A Mindful SLP –

    I love that I can use this product all year! There are lots of different categories!

  86. Ann D. –

    It’s nice to have this many barrier games at my fingertips. Since I purchased it at half price I felt it was well worth the cost. Full price it would have been a bit much

  87. Hannelie Y. –

    Great resource. Thank you!

  88. Veronica K. –

    Great resource to work on mixed goals!

  89. Rachel G. –

    This resource was a life-saver during online Zoom sessions over Covid. So versatile and easy to target multiple goals with.

  90. Jaskiran G. –

    Super versatile resource! Thank you for the little ‘cheat sheet’ of prepared goals – time saver! The themes are great to pair with other, similar themed resources which I’ve used to promote learning of new vocabulary. Attaching the pieces to magnets is a nice tip – I’m looking forward to trying this.

  91. Everyday SLP –

    These are great overall! I love that it saves me time prepping and I can grab & go once they are laminated.

  92. Claire P. –

    I love how versatile this resource is for helping children with a variety of language goals.

    Great resource that I loved to use with my students.
