Inferencing Chipper Chat®

Inferencing Chipper Chat® is a magnetic chip game targeting eight inferencing and language skill areas, designed for use by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and teachers to develop receptive and expressive inferencing skills through structured game-based practice.

Forty illustrated game boards and 240 prompt cards targeting eight inferencing skill areas give Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and teachers a motivating, structured activity for building inferencing and language comprehension skills across both receptive and expressive levels.

Inferencing Chipper Chat® uses a magnetic chip-collecting game mechanic to engage students in eight inferencing skill areas: Associations, Emotions, Figurative Language, Jobs/Occupations, Part to Whole, Prediction, Setting/Location, and What Happened? Each of the 240 colour-coded prompt cards includes a receptive task (students listen and point to the matching picture) and an expressive task (students generate their own inferencing response). Thirty cards are included per topic area, providing ample practice within each skill before moving to the next.

Who is this inferencing Chipper Chat helpful for?

Inferencing Chipper Chat® is designed to target inferencing, associations, emotions, figurative language, and expressive language skills. Ideal for use by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and teachers in individual therapy sessions or small groups of up to five students.

Why Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and teachers love this Chipper Chat:

The dual receptive and expressive prompt format within each card set allows clinicians to address both comprehension and production goals within the same activity, making it practical for students at different ability levels within the same session. The eight colour-coded skill areas are self-organised, reducing the setup time between sessions, and the chip-collecting game mechanic maintains student engagement throughout structured inferencing practice. Developed by Nancy Crist, Rose Sheedy, and the Super Duper® Staff.
