Speech Therapy Winter PowerPoint Games

Winter therapy sessions can be tricky—students are excited, routines are disrupted, and attention is harder to maintain. These speech therapy winter PowerPoint games were created to keep sessions engaging without sacrificing quality practice.

They’re no-print, interactive, and flexible enough to use across articulation and language goals—making them easy to grab when you need something motivating and clinically sound.

Overview of the Speech Therapy Winter PowerPoint Games

I created a no-print, turn-taking game using PowerPoint. I am in love with no print since it:

Why no-print?

  • Saves time (no prep, no laminating)
  • Keeps materials organized in one place
  • Works for in-person sessions and teletherapy
  • Supports visual engagement without overstimulation

How to Open and Play

You do not need PowerPoint to use these materials.

  1. Open the game from the membership site
  2. Click Play
  3. Take turns clicking on a present (or themed image)
  4. One click reveals the hidden surprise
  5. Select Play Again to move to the next slide
  6. The image changes location each time
  7. Full games inside the membership include 10–12 slides, making repetition feel fresh—even for you.

Therapy Ideas by Goal Area

Articulation

Use carrier phrases that naturally support the target sound:

  • /CH/: “I choose…”
  • /TH/: “Open the…”
  • /Z/: “Click, please…”
  • /K, G/: “Click the…” / “Go again…”

You can target:

  • Single words
  • Phrases
  • Sentences
  • Short conversational turns

Because students want to keep playing, repetitions happen naturally.

Language Goals

These games work well for expressive and receptive language with minimal adjustment:

  • Vocabulary: Describe the present (color, size, pattern) before clicking
  • Grammar: Create a sentence using a target structure
  • Following directions: “Click the present under the snowman”
  • Describing: Give clues so another player can choose the correct image

Tip: Keep a second tab open with flashcards or visuals and require one response before each turn.

Motivation Without Over-Rewarding

Instead of using the game as a “reward only,” try:

  • One turn after a set number of trials
  • Alternating structured practice with a click
  • Using the game as the activity, not the prize

This keeps therapy efficient while still fun.

About

Hi,

I'm  Bridget Giraldo, MS CCC-SLP

I've been a speech-language pathologist since 2006 — in schools, hospitals, preschools, and private practice. I created Speech Therapy Talk because I kept making materials I couldn't find anywhere else: research-based, bilingual, no-prep, and built for real caseloads. Now, I share them here.
