Bad Bye, Good-Bye by Deborah Underwood
working on initial /g/ - scroll down for more activities
To make a /g/, sound keep your tongue tip behind your bottom teeth and pull the back part of your tongue up against the top of your mouth. It’s very much like the k sound, except that the g is voiced, which means your larynx is also activated. Here are some fun and simple activities to practice this sound at home or in the car:
1. Play the game “Duck, Duck, Goose”. Listen for and emphasize the g sound in “goose”.
2. Have foot races or toy cars and start by saying “Ready, Set, GO!”.
3. When you’re in the car count the times you see a green light telling you to “go”.

Hear are some gross motor games to play to practice the /g/ sound:
- "I got it"- throwing things into a box or basket placed on the ground, say "I got it" when you get one in
- "Stop/go"- a leader gives everyone some motion to do ( dance, jump, tiptoe, etc) and then tells everyone when to stop and go
