Zingo! Core Word Race

Today I was defeated 3 to 0 playing Core Word Race. To play each player must have a robust AAC system. It is ok if different children have different systems, as long as they have a robust system.  To play use the Zingo Sight Word card dispenser and dispense a word card, this happens to be a good time for some incidental literacy teaching!  Next, say "on your mark, get set, go!" (You can record this on a sequential message switch if you want!) And race to fine the word on your talkers. First one to say it with their talker wins!  Variations include having peers in inclusion find the word in a dictionary, a speed version where each player takes a turn while the others watch and the object of the game is to find as many words as you can in three minutes and playing with the Zingo! Think Fun version (or anyone that dispenses letters) to race to find a word, any word or a word in a particular category, that starts with the dispensed letter.
