Description
Grab your wooden unstacking blocks game and these mats for a FUN and EFFECTIVE speech therapy session with this game companion! ! I love playing stacking blocks in therapy but my students often got frustrated with how easy it is to knock over (and some of my students would knock it over or bump the table on purpose). I wanted to figure out a way to play this game without as much frustration! This is how Language Blocks was born!

I also added Mini Language blocks to use with mini tumbling tower sets (I get mine on Amazon).

Over 90 mats!
→ Materials: stacking blocks game (wooden stacking blocks/tumbling tower blocks). You will also need to select one of the Language Blocks Mats that target your student’s objective.
→ Game Set up: Stack the blocks up like the traditional game (three blocks together, alternating directions per 3 blocks…like the image above). Pick the Language Blocks mat that you need for your students and place it in front of them.
→ Game Play: Start off by telling your students this isn’t the regular stacking block game (where you take blocks off and stack them back on top). Tell them this is an UN-stacking game!
Each player will carefully remove a block out of the tower (they are not allowed to take one of the top blocks until the tower is down to 2 layers or no other blocks can be removed without it tumbling down). Then they get to choose a block on their mat to put it on. The student will answer the target question/task and then place the block over it.
→ The object of the game is to fill up your Language Blocks mat as much as you can before someone knocks over the tower. This will provide language practice while playing a fun game!
