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!

I would love to win!
Hmmmm…why do I want this game? Because my kindergarten and first graders will absolutely go bananas over something like this. So creative!!!!!
I love the idea!
I usually play restaurant with real food but I like this idea for auditory memory tasks and great for traveling SLPs! AWESOME!
This looks great! My kindergarten students would love this. 🙂
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… 😉
I want this game because….my younger students will absolutely LOVE it!!!!! Cards are easy to transport for those of us who have multiple schools. 🙂

I want this game because….my little ones will absolutely LOVE it!!! Cards are much easier to transport than bulky items….I have three schools in three different towns. 🙂 🙂
My kids would enjoy this–I think we’ve been stuck in a rut!
Love the auditory memory component!
This would be so cute for my kindergarteners and first graders!
This would be great! I already have some specific kids in mind!!
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!

What a great way to get students to talk, pretend, and have fun while targeting language goals!
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.
I made an activity like this years ago but nowhere this cute!!!!
This is such a great activity! I have many lower functioning kiddos that are in need of relevant therapy materials and this is would be perfect!
I agree, this would be great for traveling SLPs! What a fab idea. I love imagination and play!
This game would be a great barrier game, and the kiddos could use an activity like this in their play center.
This is great for following directions, and would make a great barrier game. Also, the kids would love using this in their imaginitive play center.
Functional way to increase the students auditory memory
Would love this for the younger kiddos. Something they can all relate to.
