Granny's Candies® Board Game

Granny makes learning vocabulary skills just a little bit sweeter!

Granny's Candies® Board Game treats students to some old-fashioned fun! It provides a hands-on, engaging approach to facilitate language development in children. Combine the excitement of picking colourful "candy" tokens from Granny's candy jars with hundreds of opportunities to improve articulation, phonological awareness, and expressive language skills.

What makes Granny's Candies® such an effective way for children to learn language skills?

This board game disguises learning with play in the most delicious way. First, students fill up the "candy jars" with "candy" (soft, foamy, and colourful tokens). Then, players choose question cards from one of eight semantic areas (or mix-and-match cards). Students answer the questions, roll the die, and pick "candy" from the jars. The player with the most "candy" at the end of the game wins. Sounds yummy!
