What students practice

Speech Go Fish at a glance.

Cast a line for clear speech! In Speech Go Fish, kids play the classic card game against Finn the friendly fish, using picture cards with their own target sounds. On their turn they pick a card and ask, "Do you have a cake?", practicing the sound in a phrase. If Finn has it, they make a pair; if not, it's "Go fish!" and they catch a card from the pond and say it. When Finn asks, they answer "Yes! Here's my cake." Every word can be scored correct, almost or try again as many times as it's said, and the most pairs wins.
