SHOVEL THE SNOW is a listening and spoken language game where children practice using adjectives to describe winter-themed nouns. Each beautiful snowflake has a winter vocabulary picture and also an adjective or a modifier. The Shovel the Snow game gets kids active and competitive while listening, learning, and engaged.

SHOVEL THE SNOW. LISTEN. BUILD VOCABULARY

Children who are deaf and hard of hearing often struggle with vocabulary which is an integral part of learning. Describing is a research-supported and effective way to build vocabulary skills. Shovel the Snow can boost a child’s spoken language, communication, literacy, and academic skills. 

FIVE WAYS TO PLAY THAT TARGET:
✧ Descriptions
✧ Expansions
✧ Categories
✧ Sentences
✧ Auditory Recall

A flexible game that is easy to level up or down to meet a child’s goals.

The child listens and repeats both the written modifier (creamy) and the pictured

noun (hot chocolate) using hearing alone.

The child uses the adjective (creamy) to describe and make sentences about a picture (hot chocolate). (See previews.)

Examples:

• “My mom stirred the creamy hot chocolate.”
• “I took a sip of the creamy hot chocolate and burnt my tongue.”
• “I love creamy hot chocolate in a mug with whipped cream on top.”
  

A MUST-HAVE!

A favorite grab-n-go game to play all winter year after year.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

• 36 2-sided snowflakes with winter-based vocabulary
• Winter scene game mat
• A list of the fall nouns and adjectives/modifiers
• Listening & Spoken Language (LSL) Tips

EASY ONE-TIME PREP

Print, cut out, fold, and glue the snowflakes. Print the game mat.

Hint - I use a sand toy shovel from the Dollar Store. This is not necessary but kids love shoveling in the paper snowflakes.
