Speech therapy sessions are an excellent opportunity to engage children in language-building activities through interactive and enjoyable games. In this video, we see a session with Anna Feldman, a speech therapist, demonstrating how using a pizza-topping game can enhance a child’s ability to answer WH questions and build vocabulary. By combining language exercises with tangible, playful elements, children like Arya can practice articulation, expand their knowledge, and reinforce social skills in a supportive and structured environment. The session highlights how cues, such as the initial sound of a word, can guide children toward successful responses, fostering confidence and progress.
Through the pizza game, Arya answered questions like “Who brings the mail?” and “Who flies in a spaceship?” while selecting toppings such as pepperoni and mushrooms for her pizza. Each correct answer was celebrated, reinforcing learning through positive feedback. The game encouraged Arya to use polite requests, such as “I want the cheese, please,” teaching both language and social etiquette. By combining learning with fun, this activity exemplifies how interactive methods can make speech therapy more effective and engaging for young learners.
