What Am I? Family Board Game

What Am I? Family Board Game

A playful family board game designed to support language development, social interaction, and shared problem-solving through simple guessing and turn-taking. Players take turns asking questions and listening to clues to work out who or what they are. The predictable structure and clear goal support engagement, while the conversational nature of the game encourages listening, expressive language, and cooperative play.

Helpful when:

Children are practising turn-taking, listening, and using language in a shared activity.

Why this is Roost approved

Games with clear rules and predictable turns are commonly used in early childhood intervention to support social communication skills. This game creates natural opportunities for asking questions, listening to responses, and waiting for a turn, all within a playful, low-pressure setting. Repetition across rounds helps children build confidence and familiarity with language and social expectations.
