 Poker chips for Speech Therapy

I just got these cardboard trays from the cafeteria; they are what the individual peanut butter or jelly packets come in. I bought cheap poker chips at the dollar store. Each student gets a bag of poker chips and a tray. Everytime they correctly complete their turn ( articulation or whatever goal you are focusing on) they get a chip. If I feel like they are starting to get bored, I make the next turn a double chip turn (for twice the amount of work.  Whoever fills their tray first wins! And you win too for getting them to practice a skill 20 times while having fun.

    I absolutely LOVE this idea. I will be going down to the lunch room tomorrow to ask our lovely lunch ladies if they have any of these jelly trays. Thanks for the awesome idea and thank you for linking up!

    What a fantastic idea and as you pointed out, so easily adapted! As a retired speech path, it gets my adrenaline flowing, just imagining how much fun this would be.
