Ever wish you could play card games in speech while targeting articulation skills? Now you can!
I made these versatile articulation playing card decks so you can play games like Go Fish, War, Crazy Eights, or even Memory – all with one deck! These cards are so versatile, you can even use them like normal flashcards. I’ve put them in sensory bins, hidden them for scavenger hunts, or just drilled articulation sounds with them.
Every deck contains 52 picture cards (obviously) and targets each sound in the initial, medial, and final positions.
For each deck, the diamond cards target initial sounds, the clubs target medial sounds, and the hearts target final sounds. The spade cards are mixed and include the sounds in a variety of positions!
For the /r/ deck, I’ve included cards for prevocalic r, ar, ear, air, ire, or, er, rl, and r blends which are fairly mixed up within the suits.
In addition, each deck comes with a nice cover that you can use to label your decks of cards!
Aren’t they pretty?!
My favorite game to play with these cards is War. If you don’t know how to play, you divide the deck evenly between all players. Each player flips over the top card of the deck at the same time. Whoever flips the highest number wins all of the cards. If you run out of cards, you’re out! Whoever has the most cards at the end of the session wins! I love it because you can play for 5 minutes or 30 minutes and the turns are fast meaning you get A TON of drill in! It’s also super easy to learn! For students at the sentence level, I have them make a sentence using both cards during War. For example, for the picture below they could say “The radio is in my office”.
Interested in buying these cards? Here’s some more information!
I currently have decks for the following sounds: s, z, l, r, g, and k. I hope to add other sounds in the future. You can buy each sound individually or buy a bundle of all of the sounds and save 20%. Click here or click the picture below to check out the bundle. From there you can click around to see each individual deck if you only need 1 or a couple of sounds.

What a great idea! Hoping to win these to begin my CF year!
Another great and simple game to use and it’s quick too! I hope to add these to my card collection for the new school year!
These look great! I’m starting grad school next year, but have had a chance to work with a client on a few sounds this past semester. Coming up with fun teaching ideas is tricky, so these cards look awesome!
I am a second year graduate student gearing up for my school placement in the fall! These cards would be a fabulous resource for articulation therapy!
Wow! What a great idea! I’m currently a grad student and have a few clients I could use these on!
I have been eyeing these awesome cards!! I am a CFY and have a TON of artic kiddos right now that would love these. I’ve gotten some of your products of TpT and use them basically everyday. This looks like such an awesome product!
My students love playing with cards but I’m tired of the same words and they are starting to too. These would be perfect to change things up a bit.
Thank you for creating these! I absolutely have to have them as I have been working with only preschool and moving to elementary age!
This is fantastic! I’ll probably be in a school clinic placement in the fall so I’d definitely get some use out of them 🙂
These playing cards are beautiful! They would be a great addition to my artic supplies. Keep up the great work! 🙂
Love this! The kids think they have tricked you by picking a game, when the joke is on them and they are practicing their sounds 🙂
These are so amazing!! Could definitely be useful in my grad school externship!
These would be fun to have! Thanks for all your hard work and sharing!!
These cards are so great! I’d love to have a copy for my students :).
Love your materials! I have so many on my wish list!
These are awesome!!
What an awesome idea! So quick and FUN for the students!
Card are so fun and kids love them. I like that you don’t need two sets of cards to do so (articulation cards and regular card deck)!!
These look fabulous! My kids would love to be able to play real card games. These would be great for mixed sound groups as well.
These look like so much fun!! A great product for a grad student to add to their arsenal!!
Thanks for sharing!
What a great product! My students would definitely enjoy these!
This is a great idea. Makes life/therapy so much easier!
These look great!!!

I LOVE these! So cute and such a neat idea. Perfect for a grad student (:
I’ve just added these amazing cards to my wishlist!! They look ideal for our articulation students. Also, I love your card holders for the younger students who have difficulty holding and viewing their cards. I made some out of egg cartons but my students had trouble getting the cards in and out. Did you make those or are they available online? TIA!
I got them in the Target dollar section actually!! Keep your eye out! They came with a dry erase marker I believe!
Wow! I love these!! So diverse and easy to incorporate into so many activities!!
I love these! I work in an elementary, a middle school and high school. These cards would be perfect at each site!!
These are perfect! I just started home health last month and have a few kiddos that could use these cards along with me working at a middle school starting August 1st. This would be great to help me build my little speech kit. Thanks for creating this!
Shannon you have so many great and creative products! Kids love card games! These are perfect!!
