Barrier Games for Halloween for Receptive Expressive Language Skills

Want to add some fun to your sessions on building directing and describing skills? Barrier games have long been used by speech-language pathologists for developing language skills for giving and following directions using spatial concepts and descriptive concepts. Having a pair of students take turns giving and following directions develops concise directing and describing skills in a fun activity.

Students learn to listen carefully, and the therapist/teacher is able to focus on scaffolding and teaching such skills as chunking and re-auditorization without having to simultaneously be giving the auditory input.
