Free choice board maker for kids
Pick two to five choices and show them full screen. Your child taps what they want. No account needed.
How it works
Start with a ready-made board like drinks, snacks, feelings or yes and no, or build your own. Search more than 670 clear pictures: food, drinks, the bathroom, animals, places, clothes and feelings. Add words, numbers or colors, or mix them. Tap "Show it full screen" and hand over the phone or tablet.
Each choice gets an equal share of the screen: two choices are half the screen each, three are a third each. When your child taps, their choice lights up, is said aloud, and celebrates, so it feels good to choose.
Frequently asked questions
What is a choice board?
A choice board shows two to five options as pictures, words, numbers or colors so a child can point to or tap what they want. It is often used with children who are non-verbal or have few spoken words, and it also helps any child who struggles when asked an open question like "what do you want?".
How many choices should I start with?
Start with two. A clear choice between two things (juice or milk) is easier than five. Add more as your child gets comfortable. The screen is divided evenly, so two choices get half the screen each.
Why is the board full screen?
Big pictures and big words are easier to see, to aim at and to understand, especially from across a room or for a child with motor planning or visual processing differences. Every choice gets as much of the screen as possible.
Should the positions change each time?
It depends on your child. Keeping positions the same is predictable and many children prefer it. Shuffling positions shows whether they are choosing the picture or just the spot. You can turn shuffle on or off.
Is the sound or celebration optional?
Yes. Some children love the confetti and chime and some find them too much. You can pick the effect, turn the sound and the spoken word on or off, or use a quiet mode with no effects.
Does this replace speech therapy or an AAC device?
No. This is a simple everyday tool, not a medical device or a replacement for professional support. If your child is not yet speaking, talk with a speech-language pathologist about the best communication system for them.
