Black Friday! A day that I have always loved. What could be better than shopping all day
when everything is on sale? This year I
finally purchased Pop the Pig! I saw it in the sale flyer on Wednesday night and knew I had to get it. I have been borrowing another therapist's and now I have my own. I have
wanted the game for quite a while now.
Pop the Pig! is a game that comes with a giant pig, 16
little hamburgers and a colored die. The
official rules call for each player to roll the die and then feed the pig the
colored hamburger they rolled. The
number under the hamburger is the number of times you pump the pig. The winner is the player who makes the pig
pop.
One way I adapt board games is to use articulation decks
with the game. The player selects a card
and produces the word 5 times. The
player can also say the word each time they pump on the pig. They can also make sentences with their
words.
Another way I like to adapt games with colored dice is to
create spinners to use in place of the dice.
I have created spinners for Pop the Pig that address initial
articulation sounds, plurals, past tense verbs and pronouns. I attach a paper clip to a fastener to make
the spinner. These spinners are used in place of the die that comes with the
game. It eliminates the need for
multiple decks of cards. My kids love
using spinners.
