I have had so many requests for another version of my popular
Snowman Slam! and
Santa's Cookie Slam! games. As soon as I saw KPM Doodles' cute Valentine graphics, I knew exactly what that next version would be. So here it is, Valentine Slam!
It's another great game for following auditory directions, played just like Santa's Cookie Slam. This one is a little more difficult, however, as some of the directions contain as many as three attributes. I find it helpful to review both the description cards and the heart features before we play the game, because many of my kids are unfamiliar with the words "lace" and "checks".
This is how to play. The heart cards are scattered face up in the center of the table. If there are 2 players, players take turns reading a direction card, and then both players race to slap the card that matches the description of the direction card. If there are 3 or more players, one player is designated as the reader for the entire game. This player reads the direction cards to the other players, making sure to hide the card from their view. Again, players race to slap the card that matches the directions. The player who collects the most Valentine cards wins! Cards look like this:
You can find this game
here. Be sure to check my Facebook page for an especially "sweet" deal on February 7th (hint, hint!)

What a cute idea to use this with following directions! I have an activity that is similar to this for articulation!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'd love to see your activity, too! Do you have a link?
DeleteThanks Pam! I used your cookie slam game at Christmas and the kids LOVED it. Can't wait to print, laminate and use this next week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the game - love how it targets the attributes!
ReplyDeletePosted your game on the Auditory Verbal Center of Wheaton. Wonderful game for my families for home carryover for listening and following directions. Thanks Pam!
ReplyDeleteWhat game is next? Ha!
Thanks, Lynn! I'm thinking of a Farmyard Slam! next, and maybe a springtime themed one. Do either of those sound interesting?
