SPARK Actions Floor Game

Make movement meaningful with the SPARK Actions Floor Game—a dynamic and interactive way to target early language development, gross motor skills, and social communication! Featuring 35 early-acquired verbs, this set includes jumbo floor cards and matching smaller “show it” cards perfect for a variety of engaging, play-based activities.

Multiple Ways to Play & Learn:

MOVE IT

Get kids up and active! Have children imitate the action shown on a card to practice gross motor skills, verb identification, and coordination—all while having fun.

FIND IT

Spread the jumbo cards across the floor. Show a small card and have kids find the matching action. Great for visual scanning, memory, and movement-based learning.

LEARN IT

Model and practice action words—especially useful for teaching verbs and verb tense (e.g., “clap,” “clapped”). Encourage children to describe the action and use it in a sentence to support sentence formulation and verb usage.

MATCH IT

Play a memory-style matching game. Turn two cards over to find pairs while targeting visual discrimination, turn-taking, and attention.

ACT IT

Play a charades-style game where kids act out the verb for others to guess. Supports nonverbal communication, expression, and social interaction.

Skills Targeted:

• Language and vocabulary development

• Verb and verb tense understanding

• Gross motor coordination and balance

• Following directions

• Social turn-taking and imaginative play

• Confidence and creativity

Includes:

✔️ 35 jumbo action cards (e.g., bend, clap, march, touch head, wiggle)
✔️ 35 small matching action cards
✔️ Activity guide with game ideas

Whether you’re a speech-language pathologist, teacher, or parent, the SPARK Actions Floor Game brings learning to life—one action at a time.
