Question Challenge Card Game is an expressive and receptive language card game that targets social skills and reasoning. Students practice skills that are necessary for effective communication and problem solving.
Question Challenge Card Game includes 30 cards for each of the following 10 skill areas:
To play, the student reads one or more questions from the question card and answers the item. For example, the card reads "Your mom talks to you like a baby in front of your friends at the bus stop. How do you stay calm in this situation?" The student may say, "Mom, I love you and I’m going to miss you today while I’m at school, but please don’t talk to me like I’m a baby. I’m growing up."
If the student answers appropriately, he/she spins the electronic spinner and receives the lighted number of tokens. The student with the most tokens at the end of the game is the winner.

"I just purchased this game and have used it with the transition (18-22 year old DD) population. It seems very relevant and useful, and will be a often-used tool in my collection of therapy materials."
- sara, northern CA
"This is a great therapy tool for my upper elementary students with expressive language or pragmatics challenges. It is versatile, well-organized, easy to use, and the students love it! The format fosters engagement, flexibility, and social interaction while developing specific verbal reasoning and pragmatic skills"
- Debbie T, Los Angeles, CA
"This is an excellent game. My granddaughter doesn't even realize she is learning!"
- Wendy B, Kelowna BC
"I bought this game specifically for the kids on my caseload with social challenges, and I've used just the Cognitive Flexibility cards with them so far. They love the way the game works (Challenge Cards delineating who is to answer the question, electonic spinner, and tokens to earn) and have really shown the ability to think about 2-3 reasons for the variety of situations and scenarios on the cards. I've also used the game with many of my other K-5 speech and language students, and they have all thoroughly enjoyed playing the game. I've been able to elicit responses targeting various speech sounds, language skills, and fluency, while working on cognitive flexibility, perspective taking, and other higher level thinking skills. It's definitely a keeper!"
- Jeannie G., Everett, Washington
"I bought this game to use with the children I service privately - autism spectrum and language comprehension delays. Each client I have played the game with has been highly motivated to answer questions in order to push the 'reward' and get tokens. I have gained valuable insight into the language comprehension pieces my students are successful at as well as those that are still in need of intervention. The questions and pictures are very up-todate, high quality, and cover a wide range of every day topics."
- Robin M. MS, BCBA, Fairfax, VA
"I love this question challenge game. The game is great for improving listening comprehension, auditory processing, question comprehension, critical thinking skills, and social skills. I especially like the understanding of sarcasm and cognitive flexiblity for children on the autism spectrum. Great product."
- Kelly K., Saint Louis, MO
"I was pleasantly suprised by this game. It offers great questions for students with autism - this is not just your basic wh-question game. It works on cognitive flexibility, taking another's perspective, etc. Highly recommend adding this to your bag of tricks!!"
- Jeannie, Raleigh, NC
"Why doesn't this come with a colorful gameboard. Really nice format for q&a. Works best for 3rd grade and above. It is too hard for the little ones at my school."
- Robin S., Reno,NV
"Great product. I am really enjoying using these cards with my pragmatically delayed second grade students. I have only used the Determining Perspective cards and I'm really enjoying it. I have been able to elicit a lot of social language skills with them (i.e. identifying feelings, understanding problems and solutions, inferencing, predicting..). My only wish is that there be large pictures on these cards. It was difficult at times to get my students to focus with such small pictures."
- Rachel Y., New Jersey
"I like how the categories are organized to hit many different areas. The cards have promoted conversation between my students about the various situations. It would be nice to have a board game with the cards, but they are easily adaptable to use with a different board game. Definitely recommend this product to add to your bag of goodies!"
- Leslie T, Sykesville, MD
"This was such a hit and a great learning tool the electronic spinner I use with other games the kids love it....."
- Jess, Oh
"I love this game. The categories all focus on higher level, critical thinking skills. It is so much more than problem solving scenarios though. I love the diversity of the categories and each card poses a natural, realistic dilemma that a person can encounter. I have used this for elementary and middle school students. I find it easy to adapt and use a given scenario for social (lunch) groups as discussion topics."
- Lauren R., Ashburn, VA
"I have enjoyed this game with many of my clients. There is a wide variety of different question types. It can be used with many different levels of abilities. The kids love the beeping device that gives points."
- Christy P, Green acres, WA
"This may be one of the greatest SLP products out there!! It can be used with a wide variety of skill levels, covers a multitude of social/pragmatic skills as well as more basic wh question answering. It's fabulous and the kids love the challege card aspect of it. It's engaging and quick moving, and takes no prep time! Awesome!!"
- Kenda, Wadsworth, Ohio
"This game has become my students most requested activity. The game and accompanying parts are extremely versatile. The question range is appropriate for elementary. You won't be disappointed with this one."
- Joanne M., Greenville, NC
"This game is engaging and very useful for students who exhibit delays in pragmatic and problem solving skills."
- Barbara, Latham, NY
"The cards are great in this game. There is a good variety of topics on the cards. I don't quite understand how to set it up as a game though. The tokens and counter are pointless if you ask me. I use the cards my own way during the session."
- Nicole P., San Diego, CA
"This game is a new favorite of mine and my clients. Very useful therapy tool for a variety of skills. Fun to play too!"
- Kathleen N., Westford, MA
"This is great! My kids like the electronic spinner- I've also used it with different games. I like the amount of question cards."
- Jennifer Johnston, Michigan
"This game allows for children to figure out appropriate social responses to different situations. It works well in small groups allowing for multiple responses."
- Taylor, Kewanee, IL
"Even Dad joins in when the boys sit down to play the game with their ABA tutors. I love the turn-taking and sharing social skills building in addition to the language part of the social skills. The kids stay interested because of the competition for the chips. It's a win-win in my book!"
- Nicole N., Cleveland, OH
"The Question Challenge Card Game is a good resource to use in a group setting involving students with different goals. The kids especially enjoy the electronic spinner!"
- Anita M., Gilbert, AZ
"The variety of cards in this set is unbelievable, and all very useful! This was one of the first items I have bought (new CF), and I am so glad that I did. Also, can I please say thank you for making the sound able to be turned on/off?! We do therapy in a library, so it is fantastic the kids are still be able to use the fun, motivating light spinner! Great product!!!"
- Annelise, San Diego, CA
"I love this game and the flexibility. Sometimes I just use the cards in my own open ended game or as trials and others I use it as the game it is intended to be. I love the variety of cards. I've searched for activities that include those domains and to have several in one package is fantastic!"
- Danielle Mntanga, St. Louis, MO
"I discovered this product while doing coverage for another SLP at her school. The students loved the interactive nature of the game, and I loved how a single item could target a number of therapy goals for all students in my groups. This has easily become one of the most-used products in my therapy room."
- Lauren B., Philadelphia, PA
"I love this product!!! There are so many questions for each area, which is usually hard to find (most products run out of questions/cards before you really feel you've been able to teach the area, so you end up looking for more material). And the pictures allow for more conversation that just what is listed on the card. The only thing I can think of that would improve it is if the pictures were a little bigger so the small details could be seen easier. But overall, VERY pleased with this product!!!"
- Mindy M, Van Buren, AR
"I enjoyed this game. It was great for my 4th and 5th graders working on language goals."
- Amy S., Tupelo, MS
"I am excited to use this product! I am able to target a variety of skills using the same game. My older students get tired of paper/pencil activities, so this will be a nice change for them. I like that we can play the same game yet target different skills for different students."
- Lana M., Greenfield, IN
"I bought this since it went on Sharon's Deals, and boy am I glad I did! This game is so engaging and the prompts are right on, and a great jumping off point for oral language. I highly recommend!"
- Michaela Torres, Wilmington, NC
"I love pairing the cards with another board game, and even with just the tokens my kids get excited. It teaches a lot of different skills, and really makes the kids think!"
- Emily B., Anchorage, AK
"I have been using this with my middle schoolers and they absolutely love it! The scenarios are so relatable and really make them think. So happy I found this on Sharons Deals and decided to purchase!"
