After you have downloaded the free Acrobat® Reader® file, just click on the icon, i.e., concept/game, you wish to open and
Acrobat® Reader® will open it for you.
Anyone with a full version of Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® can type in changes of vocabulary to make adjustments of grammatical
and dialectical differences since the games are formatted in an ASCII format. This provides an interactive element to the administrator
who wishes to make changes to the language content of any game.
Playing Instructions
Two players
To play individually with the child, the administrator makes four photocopies of the desired page. The administrator cuts out each
cell into individual units with just two of the pages. Children can cut out the pictures themselves if they have sufficient fine motor abilities.
All pictures are laid face-down at the beginning of the game. The child picks up one picture and identifies the language concept.
He then lays the picture on its corresponding match on his own game sheet. The administrator then takes his turn. If the child is not
familiar with the language concept, the administrator can provide an accurate model. The game proceeds until all pictures are placed
on both sheets.
Two or more players
Photocopies of a game sheet are made for each player. One additional sheet is made to be cut up into individual pictures.
All pictures are placed face-down. Each child, on his turn, picks up a picture and announces the language concept. Children then
place tokens on the corresponding match on their own sheets.
Play continues until all pictures are identified.
Copies of Language Lotto sheets may be sent home with children for practice with their parents. Many children like thinking of
this as their homework.
The Layout of the Games
1. Some games need to be printed on legal-sized paper. These files are labeled legal and are found on Disk 1. All other games
can be printed on letter-sized paper. All games should be printed in a landscape setting.
2. Games are provided with cut marks on the margins to provide an easy guide when cutting out individual pictures.
3. The disks are labeled by the basic concepts to be taught. Most files contain twelve different game sheets, however, a few concontain only seven or eight. The game sheets are identified by concept and are consecutively numbered so that once
they are printed and the individual pictures are cut out for a particular game they can be stored in manila files, e.g., 1
around/through, 2 around/through, and so forth.
4. The game sheets may be printed in black and white or color.
5. Complete sentences or phrases are provided in English and in Spanish, however, an administrator may wish to adjust the presentation after a training session and provide, as stimuli, the target vocabulary word imbedded in a partial syntactic structure,
e.g., The string goes around the sleeve can be modified to Around the sleeve.
Expansion and/or Adaptation
Additional basic vocabulary words can be taught with certain games. However, it would be up to administrator to provide the
appropriate stimuli in English, Spanish or even another language. For example:
1. every/not every can be taught as all/not all as well as each/not each;
2. fat/thin can be taught as fat/skinny as well as heavy/light;
3. high/low can be taught as up/down;
4. over/under can be taught as above/below;
5. in front/behind can be taught as right/left, i.e., to the right of/to the left of as well as in front of/in back of;
6. big/little can be taught as biggest/littlest;
7. large/small can be taught as largest/smallest; and
8. many/few can be taught as a few/lots of.
