The Game disc contains 11 questions and prompts, plus one bonus sector.
The exercises in the Lengu game ‘Oral Motor Skills’ help strengthen the muscles of the lips and tongue.
In addition, these exercises help support the correct resting position of the lips and tongue.
The primary oral motor activities are eating (including biting and chewing food), drinking and speaking.
These activities require precise and co-ordinated movements of the lower jaw, tongue, lips, cheeks and soft palate.
Therefore, developing oral motor skills supports proper eating, drinking and pronunciation.
GAME OBJECTIVE:
training the tongue muscles;
training the lips and the orbicularis oris muscle;
