One way that I have spiced up the traditional OG visual/auditory drill is to make it into a treasure hunt game. I start by doing the auditory drill by telling them to repeat and spell the sounds as many ways as they can onto a piece of paper. After I have said about 15 sounds I give them 5 minutes to find things with that sound around the room or a quick field trip outside. I give them a goal that if they find at least 10 different sounds I will let them go into the treasure drawer to pick out a prize. If you don't have a treat to give them you can also offer them that they can play a game of their choice if they complete the target amount. My students find this fun because they are moving around and they are having fun snooping around the tutor centre. It is always nice to see them repeat the sound while they are walking around the room finding it. For example - I asked them to find the 'b' sound. They see a tennis ball on the floor. They will need to write the word ball down to count as a point.
Another variation is to use a digital camera to take pictures of the sounds. So they take pictures of all the 'b' sounds - balls, bags. Then make a sound collage.
