Glueing ideas

[SpeechMom]

I have a little boy that I see for articulation, that cannot produce a /g/. He refuses to do the /g/ exercises (I think Mom and Dad were trying to work on it at home and got frustrated with him). Oddly enough /gl/ is a facilitating context for production of /g/ for him, so I was thinking of doing a glueing activity with him. Last time he was in, I grabbed some tongue depressors and we glued those into a snowflake. We're going to put glitter on it this week. Any other ideas? Thanks!

gluing with tissue paper (Stained glass like project, color collage)

any sort of collage picture.

What about playing with Goop or some other Gooey thing.

I'll give it more thought!

Tissue might work, or a collage of /gl/ stimulus words - thanks. Goop might be good once we've shaped /gl/ into /g/.

An ideas for things we could glue that glow? That would be great! Maybe some kind of star picture on black paper.

How about paper airplanes - gliders? You could make a glistening glider by adding glitter with glue.

That's cool. The vocalic /r/ at the end will be a problem for him, but we could make them and watch them glide. Thanks ma'am!

How about glitter glue? Or gluing a pattern and adding some sprinkled glitter?

How about wearing funny "glasses" and "gloves" when you make the /gl/ sound?

I was thinking a word assiation game...Like show pictures of expressions and say Glad or sad....cant thinkof others right now.

I'm thinking I might be able to take a type of minimal pairs approach. An actual minimal pairs activity would contrast his production with the correct production. For example if the word is go, he fronts the /g/, so he would say doe. I would show a picture of go (stoplight) and when he says doe show a picture of a deer or fawn and say is it a doe, or is it go? Since he can actually produce a /g/ within the context of the /l/, I'm going to contrast /g/ words with /gl/ words in the hope that he'll drop the /l/. So, I can still do the glueing activity to give him practice with producing /g/ even if it's within the context of /gl/, and contrast it with goo. I'm still open for glueing activities and /gl/ words, but here's my list of stimulus words so far, I'd appreciate any more ya'll can think of.

glass - gas
glib - Gib
gloat – goat
glow - go
glue - goo
glum - gum
glut - gut
