Consider any of these items for a traveling language kit
Note the items are ordered by amounts of language needed- from least to greatest

GAMES in general ARE GREAT!

Bubbles, hula hoops, frisbees

These are great ice-breakers!
Be creative by also adding a counting activity – keep track of the number of seconds someone can keep the hula hoop up, or number of times the frisbee is caught. Practice saying each other’s names as you toss the frisbee back and forth.

Jenga

Also good as an ice-breaker…warm up your time together with laughter!

Uno

This fun game is great for practicing colors and numbers.

Play paper money and coins

Learn not only the names and value of American currency, but these items are especially helpful in role-play activites.

Any Kid’s Memory Games

Not only is it fun to test your memory skills, but new vocabulary words can be learned as well.
Try to learn the new vocabulary words in your client’s native language too!

Boggle

Kid’s Picture Dictionaries

Consider giving a gift that will continue to give throughout your client’s language learning process.

Be creative…

if you like it, chances are your client might as well. Remeber to take into consideration HOW much language might be needed to engage the item/game that you are bringing.
