PIZZA MAKER
Game #1: Make your own pizza. Earn a topping for correct responses.
Game #2: Made to order/Number Challenge. One person orders a pizza with an exact number of toppings (4 pepperonis). Make it more challenging by adding extra toppings (4 pepperonis, 1 pepper, 2 olives).
Game #3: Made to order/Half vs Whole. Listen carefully as someone orders half a pizza with tomatoes and half with cheese or a whole cheese pizza.
Game #4: Compare/Contrast: Print two pizzas. Set a timer for 10 seconds. SLP and client each make their favorite pizza. When timer goes off, compare and contrast the pizzas using target words or sentences (examples: My pizza has cheese BUT your pizza does not. BOTH my pizza AND your pizza have 2 pepperonis).
Game #5: Help the customer/Negatives: The “customer” can’t remember the names of the toppings. Put out three choices (example: cheese, tomato, olive). It’s not the yellow one and it’s not the red one. (The pizza maker then chooses the olive). Other option: Put out 2 choices (i.e. peppers and pineapple). The customer can say “I don’t like peppers.” Or “I want that one that is not a pepper.”
Or create your own game with target skills!
PIZZA DELIVERY
Game #1: Number Recall/Memory- Can you remember the 3 numbers that go with the address? (i.e. 133 Max Jett Rd.). Make it more challenging by remembering more digits or the phone number that goes with the order.
Game #2: Print or draw a map and follow directions to get to the house. Take a right on Oak Street and then a left on Maple St. OR Go two blocks then turn left.
