Do you want to build a snowman? (Hopefully, you also sing that every single time you see this question.)

Now, what if building a snowman required no actual snow (although we have an abundance of that around here!) and could be used to work on speech, language, and social skills? Well, that's where this free printable snowman barrier game comes in handy.

You simply try to create your own snowman, complete with a hat, face, arms, and scarf and see if the other players can follow your instructions to make their snowman match yours. Ready to try it out? Keep reading!

What is a Barrier Game?

Barrier games are a way to practice speech and social skills concepts by creating and describing scenes to another player and having them recreate the scene on their own game board. An example of a barrier game that you might be familiar with is Battleship.

We personally use barrier games to work on skills such as:

  • Following directions
  • Listening skills
  • Prepositions (on, under, above, beside, next to, etc.)
  • Expressive speech
  • Vocabulary
  • Turn taking
  • Comprehension

But, of course, that's not all! You can use barrier games to practice a wide variety of different speech, language, and social skills. You can learn more about barrier games and their benefits here.

How to Use the Free Build a Snowman Barrier Game

To prep this barrier game, you will need at least two players. Simply download, print two copies of both the scene and the items (one copy for each player), cut the individual items, and laminate all pieces for durability (optional).

To play this barrier game, have all players sit at a table and set up a barrier. A file folder or book works great! The goal is to make sure that all players cannot see each other's materials.

Each player takes turns placing an object on the scene and describing to the other player where to place the objects. It's important to give clear and specific directions on where to place the objects.

The objective of the game is to have identical pictures at the end. That is, all players should have matching scenes with the items placed in the same spots for all players.

This free printable barrier game includes four pages, including detailed instructions on how to play, a landscape or scene, and game pieces.

Free Printable Winter Barrier Game for Speech Therapy

This free printable winter themed barrier game is a perfect way to work on speech therapy and language goals this winter.

While winter doesn't officially start until late December, winter is a reality much earlier here in the Canadian prairies. We spend a good 5-6 months in snow with cold temperatures. That means we get to enjoy sledding and making snowmen for a lot longer than most people do...

Inspired by our long cold winters, I put together this free printable winter barrier game inspired by our long cold winters.

This barrier game is pretty simple compared to my other barrier games, making it perfect for younger kids or kids who get visually overwhelmed.

Free Printable Fairies Barrier Game for Speech Therapy

This free printable fairy themed barrier game is a perfect way to work on speech therapy and language goals.

I think in terms of barrier games, this one may be more challenging than some of the others simply because the landscape scene has less unique features.

So extremely precise descriptions will need to be given in order for the other player(s) to figure out the exact locations to place the fairies. (Which pink flower am I placing a fairy by??)

However, if you have a child who loves fairies or fantasy creatures and is up for the challenge, then this free printable fairy themed barrier game will be a lot of fun.

To prep this barrier game, you will need at least two players. Simply download, print two copies of both the scene and the items (one copy for each player), cut the individual items, and laminate all pieces for durability (optional).

To play this barrier game, have all players sit at a table and set up a barrier. A file folder or book works great! The goal is to make sure that all players cannot see each other's materials.

Each player takes turns placing an object on the scene and describing to the other player where to place the objects. It's important to give clear and specific directions on where to place the objects.

The objective of the game is to have identical pictures at the end. That is, all players should have matching scenes with the items placed in the same spots for all players.

What is a Barrier Game?

Barrier games are a way to practice speech and social skills concepts by creating and describing scenes to another player and having them recreate the scene on their own game board. An example of a barrier game that you might be familiar with is Battleship.

We personally use barrier games to work on skills such as:

  • Following directions
  • Listening skills
  • Prepositions (on, under, above, beside, next to, etc.)
  • Expressive speech
  • Vocabulary
  • Turn taking
  • Comprehension

But, of course, that's not all! You can use barrier games to practice a wide variety of different speech, language, and social skills. You can learn more about barrier games and their benefits here.

Free Printable Bug Barrier Game for Speech Therapy

This free printable bug themed barrier game is a perfect way to work on speech therapy and language goals.

My seven year old, J, has always liked bugs. This spring, however, he has been even more curious about them.

Almost every spring we have a huge outbreak of tent caterpillars. They literally swarm houses and trees. It's impossible not to step on them during May and June. Anyway, J loves picking them up and letting them crawl on his arms and hands. And he gets so mad at me if I step on them (accidentally, of course, because they're everywhere!), shouting, "They're a part of nature! Don't step on them!"

Me, on the other hand? I don't like bugs. Not even ladybugs.

However, the cute bugs in this free printable barrier game for kids are totally up my alley. I would totally be okay with bugs if they looked like these ones. Just saying...

Perhaps you have an aspiring ballerina at your house that would love this game!
