Can I Take Your Order?

I have several young students working on following directions and receptive language. With this age group, we also do A LOT of pretend play. I decided to create a restaurant/food themed receptive language activity that I dubbed "Can I Take Your Order?"


First, print a "tray" for each student:
Then cut and laminate the food item cards and place all face-up in the center of the table or room. You can print a copy of the food items for each student if you're just beginning to work on these skills or use only one set to make it more challenging. There are a total of 16 different food items. 

 The SLP can act as the "customer" and tell the students which 3 items to grab and put on their tray. I also put the pictures on the cards, so that younger non-readers can take turns being the customer. This can serve to work on expressive language or articulation!

  5. What a great activity! I love the barrier game idea - it's a great way to get my sometimes shy-to-talk fluency kids talking! Plus, I worked at Wendy's back in the day, and I haven't lost my touch... ;)

  13. I have a student whose mother actually just asked me at her IEP to work on her confidence doing 2 things: ordering food and talking on the phone. This would be a perfect and FUN way to ease her into ordering her own food!

  16. I have a ton of kiddos on my caseload that have a goal of following directions. This would also work great with some of my younger kiddos working on social skill in public.
