The therapist can incorporate this game into an obstacle course for the child to gather each layer of the sandwich throughout the course and then return it to the therapist. The child can then put the sandwich in proper order according to the therapist written directions or picture. The child can also verbally read the list and name the ingredients working on speech and reading skills. The therapist and child can work towards different therapeutic goals when playing this creative and fun game!
