No planning necessary with these cards, perfect for playing unlimited engaging articulation games, all while really maximizing those productions! Used just like a regular deck of playing cards, these 52 playing cards each feature a picture and a word that contains /s/ words in initial, medial, and final positions, perfect for drill-based speech therapy. Just print, laminate and you’ll have a quality set of cards ready for instant articulation activities whenever you need it!
SLPs know that we need to maximize the number of practice trials during our sessions.
Students know they just wanna have fun!
Combine both by playing engaging articulation games, including anything you could play with a regular deck of cards. Play any card game – Go Fish!, Crazy Eights, or Memory! I love playing War with these cards! Or, just use them like any articulation drill deck.
Here’s what’s inside:
- 52 Color Cards featuring /s/ words
- 52 Black and White Outline Cards
Featuring /s/ in all positions of words:
- 17 Initial /s/ Words
- 17 Medial /s/ Words
- 18 Final /s/ Words
Use these cards at any articulation level, whether you’re starting with words or ready to work on articulation carryover and generalization.
Here’s some reasons why other SLPs have loved these articulation playing cards:

Student Favorite
These playing cards are a big hit across all grade levels. They are often requested during our one “student’s choice” day a month. Students get creative even beyond traditional card games like Go Fish. They also build card towers, play hide the card, and feed them to puppets.

These playing cards are excellent for targeting S sounds! My students loved the game format, which made practicing their sounds fun and interactive. Easy to use one-on-one or in small groups. Highly recommend keeping your students focused!
